  "account": "Goldman Sachs is concerned that the introduction of artificial intelligence tools into the workplace could diminish the company's knowledge-sharing culture, according to Chris Churchman, head of the company's digital platform for institutional clients, Marquee. Churchman argued that overreliance on AI could lead to traders becoming passive operators and junior employees missing out on the chance to learn from senior traders' \"tacit and intuitive knowledge.\" While AI can boost profitability in the present, there is a risk that it may weaken the industry's apprenticeship culture. Churchman cautioned that outsourcing reasoning to AI models could lead to cognitive atrophy, making it difficult for employees to reason from first principles. In response to this challenge, Goldman Sachs is still determining how to maintain its apprenticeship culture while transitioning to more AI systems. The firm published research on August 19 that suggested AI displacement could be more severe for entry-level employees. The research also indicated that sectors such as call centers, software publishing, advertising services, and management consulting have experienced slower job growth since the second half of 2022. Goldman Sachs estimated that over 9% of U.S. jobs could be displaced by generative AI within the next decade, although the company also predicted that AI would create new jobs in the long term, contributing to the 25 million to 35 million new positions already being generated annually by the U.S. economy. According to a PYMNTS Intelligence report, financial services firms are heavily investing in AI, with most use cases focused on structured, auditable back-office functions. The report suggested that the industry's most adopted AI applications are in areas that customers do not directly interact with, such as internal operations.",
