AI coding for business users: Goldman Sachs pulls back
In brief
According to Silicon.fr, Goldman Sachs reportedly updated internal rules in October to largely ban vibe coding for traders and bankers, without making the change official. In July in Paris, its CIO had praised the practice for letting business teams prototype faster with technical support. The bank says it assesses productivity and risk, then puts AI tools in the hands of people who can use them over the long term.

What it changes for an SME
This internal move by a large bank does not change your legal duties. It shows that letting non-technical staff generate code with AI can speed up prototypes while raising quality, security and risk issues. According to Silicon.fr, other internal AI tools at the bank would not be affected. Treating AI output as junior work and limiting who may put it into real use is more cautious than giving coding tools to everyone.
What you can do
- List who in your business teams already uses AI tools to generate code, scripts or prototypes.
- Decide who may put an AI-generated result into real use, and who must review it as junior work.
- Check that these uses still fit your GDPR setup and, where relevant, your approach to the EU AI Act.
