Goldman Sachs is collaborating with Anthropic to develop autonomous AI agents using Claude models for tasks like trade accounting, transaction reconciliation, and client onboarding/vetting. The six-month partnership aims to reduce processing time by handling large data volumes and applying rules/judgment. Early results show effectiveness beyond coding in compliance areas. CEO David Solomon plans multi-year AI reorganization with constrained headcount growth. The move reflects broader finance sector adoption of generative AI for efficiency, though job impacts remain a concern.
