Good morning. Goldman Sachs, one of the world’s leading investment banks, is paving the way for the next generation of finance leaders to shape the future of AI in the workplace.
“Understanding how we nurture a generation of AI natives—and equip them with the right skills and tools to be leaders and not passive observers of this transformation—will be critical to defining the future of work, and society at large,” Argenti writes.
He continues: “Their instincts, creativity, and adaptability will determine how successfully we integrate AI into our organizations, not just as a tool but as a partner. The challenge ahead is beyond technological; it is cultural, educational, and distinctively human.”
With every major technological shift, a new generation of leaders emerges, especially entrepreneurs whose fluency with AI is reshaping the business landscape. Argenti notes: “Consider the CEOs of companies like Devin [AI], Windsurf, and Scale AI—all AI natives. Could one of them be the next Bill Gates or Michael Dell?”
More than 95% of workers have used AI to perform tasks they previously lacked the skills to do themselves, and workers are now 154% more likely to use AI agents to enhance their performance and creativity rather than simply automate tasks, according to the findings. Notably, millennials are emerging as the leading AI power users at work: 30% say they thoroughly understand AI agents, surpassing even Gen Z (22%).
As AI continues to redefine the workplace, companies like Goldman Sachs highlight the potential benefits of empowering AI natives.
