Goldman Sachs to use Anthropic’s AI agents to automate banking tasks

Goldman Sachs’s chief information officer said the bank is collaborating with technology startup Anthropic to develop AI-powered agents intended to automate an expanding set of internal functions, Reuters reported, citing a CNBC report . Goldman Sachs confirmed the report’s accuracy.

According to Marco Argenti, the Wall Street bank has spent the last six months working with Anthropic engineers integrated into its teams to build autonomous agents for tasks such as trade and transaction accounting, client due diligence, and onboarding. Anthropic is pursuing business agreements with products like Claude Cowork, which performs computer tasks for white-collar employees.

Goldman Sachs remains in the initial phases of developing agents based on Anthropic’s Claude model. However, Argenti stated the technology is anticipated to substantially decrease the time needed to complete core operational processes. He indicated the bank intends to launch the agents in the near future but did not provide a specific timeline.
