Frequently Asked Questions
Goldman has implemented a centralized AI platform approach with the GS AI Platform that provides secure access to multiple LLMs simultaneously. Unlike competitors who may use single-vendor solutions, Goldman's multi-model strategy allows employees to select the best AI tool for specific tasks while maintaining strict data security through proprietary firewalls.
CEO David Solomon has stated that AI will not simply eliminate jobs but will change how people work and allow for more valuable activities. The firm expects to maintain or grow headcount while increasing productivity and revenue per employee, similar to how past technological advances created new types of jobs.
Goldman's GS AI Platform operates behind the firm's firewall with proprietary security measures to prevent sensitive client or proprietary data from being exposed to external AI providers. All AI interactions are contained within Goldman's secure infrastructure while still accessing the latest AI models.
The GS AI Assistant was initially piloted with 10,000 employees and fully launched firmwide to all 46,000+ employees by mid-2025. CTO Marco Argenti predicts that nearly 100% of Goldman's workforce will interact with AI in their daily work by 2027.
