The newest hire at Goldman Sachs won’t be able to have a coffee chat with coworker Rishi Sunak, or attend the firm’s after-work happy hour. Rather, it will be working all day on its coding assignments.
Goldman Sachs plans to launch Devin by the hundreds—maybe eventually even by the thousands, Argenti added—joining the nearly 12,000 existing software engineers at the company. He said he hopes this move will help usher in a “hybrid workforce” era in which humans and AI coexist.
“It’s really about people and AIs working side by side,” Argenti said. “Engineers are going to be expected to have the ability to really describe problems in a coherent way and turn it into prompts…and then be able to supervise the work of those agents.”
Fortune reached out to Goldman Sachs for comment.
