Goldman Sachs has kicked off the rollout of its "GS AI assistant" to about 10,000 employees as part of a long-term strategy to integrate AI into their workforce, according to Futurism.

This AI assistant will help with tasks like summarizing and proofreading emails, as well as translating code between different programming languages, as explained by Marco Argenti, Goldman’s chief information officer.

"Imagine all the tasks you could tackle across various professions, now just a click away," Argenti shared with CNBC.

This move reflects a broader trend, with banks like JPMorgan and Morgan Stanley also ramping up their use of AI tools.

While they often present these initiatives as ways to simplify employees' workloads, it’s clear that there’s an underlying hope to eventually replace some human roles with AI, especially in light of recent comments from Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg.

Argenti believes that in three to five years, the distinction between human workers and AI could start to blur.

"The AI assistant becomes really like talking to another GS employee," he noted to CNBC.

It remains to be seen how effective this tool will actually be. AI models have a history of "hallucinating" facts, which is a significant issue that developers are still trying to fix.

Additionally, AI tools have raised major cybersecurity concerns, as companies have learned that AI chatbots can inadvertently leak sensitive information.

Despite these known challenges and risks, Goldman is fully committed to this direction.

"As we progress, the second step is when you're starting to have this agentic behavior, that is, 'I'm completing a task on behalf of a Goldman employee, and I need to take a set of steps,'" Argenti told CNBC. "That's where the model is going to start to do things like a Goldman employee, not only say things like a Goldman employee."

Argenti also mentioned that the AI will eventually be able to review its own work, similar to how a human would.

According to Bloomberg, global investment banks could potentially eliminate around 200,000 jobs due to the rise of advanced AI models. Positions that involve "routine, repetitive tasks are particularly vulnerable," as noted by Bloomberg Intelligence senior analyst Tomasz Noetzel.

"But AI will not eliminate them fully, rather it will lead to workforce transformation," he added.

This is a familiar message we've heard from tech leaders for years, and Argenti is on board with that sentiment.

"In my opinion, it always boils down to people," he told CNBC. "People are going to make a difference, because people are going to be the ones that actually evolve the AI, educate the AI, empower the AI, and then take action."
