Goldman is using generative AI internally to assist code writing, CIO says

So, there's no question that this is an inflection point in technology. I have to say I've been in technology for, you know, probably almost four decades or so and this is one of the biggest disruptions that I've ever seen. Probably comparable to, you know, the internet, the apps and the cloud is in that order of matter. It's still very early, so it's like, you know, like the beginning of the internet, right? You wouldn't put immediately all your most, you know, important workloads there, but the imperative is to really try to understand the potential. So one thing that we're doing, we're really, you know, experimenting and also educating our developers really to try to understand the full potential. There are a few areas where we're kind of diving deeper. One for example is, again, on developer experience.

So we have currently proof of concepts, I'd say, not for production, but definitely developers are already using some of the, you know, assisted coding. Technologies I don't want to name necessarily the name of a product, but think about developers being able to auto-generate code from prompts. And we're starting to see actually that that even further boosts productivity with some developers saying that, you know, they can write 20 to 40 percent of the code automatically in specific cases. Or for example, they can generate test cases for their code automatically. It's an interest in dualism because when you develop something, you develop the code and the code that tests the code. And if you actually have, you know, a GPT like a technology generating the test for your code or you generate the test for the GPT code, you're creating this dualism where you must check machines or machines checks human work. This kind of symbiosis I think is really what is important here.

It's never going to substitute developers, but it's actually definitely going to augment developers to be more productive.
