Goldman Sachs Says New Hires Will Manage AI Agents From Day One
Goldman Sachs executive Kevin Sneader said junior workers will oversee a 'virtual army' of AI agents, with uncertainty over what happens to middle managers.
New Goldman Sachs employees will manage AI agents from their first day on the job, according to Kevin Sneader, an executive at the bank. Sneader described the arrangement publicly, saying junior workers will oversee a "virtual army" of AI agents rather than carrying out administrative tasks themselves.
Under that model, entry-level staff would step into supervisory roles over software agents, a shift from the administrative work that has traditionally filled junior positions.
Sneader also said it is uncertain what will happen to middle managers as a result of these changes. He did not offer a specific outcome for that layer of the organisation.
TechRadar reported Sneader's remarks on the new hires and the AI agents they are expected to oversee.
