Feb 6 (Reuters) - Goldman Sachs is working with technology startup Anthropic to develop AI-powered agents aimed at automating a widening range of internal functions, CNBC reported on Friday, citing the bank’s chief information officer.
Goldman Sachs confirmed the accuracy of the report.
The Wall Street bank has spent the past six months collaborating with Anthropic engineers embedded within its teams to build autonomous agents for tasks including trade and transaction accounting as well as client due diligence and onboarding, Marco Argenti told CNBC.
Anthropic is making a push for business deals with products like Claude Cowork, which executes computer tasks for white-collar workers.
Goldman is still in the early stages of developing agents based on Anthropic’s Claude model, but the technology is expected to significantly reduce the time required to complete core operational processes, Argenti told CNBC.
He told CNBC that the bank plans to launch the agents soon, without giving a specific timeline.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) refers to the simulation of human intelligence in machines programmed to think and learn. It enables systems to perform tasks that typically require human intelligence, such as decision-making and problem-solving.
Banking automation involves using technology to perform tasks that were previously done manually. This includes processes like transaction processing, customer service, and compliance, aimed at improving efficiency and reducing operational costs.
Due diligence is the process of conducting a thorough investigation or audit of a potential investment or acquisition. It involves evaluating financial records, legal compliance, and other relevant factors to assess risks.
