? 高盛剛剛聘用了能像人類一樣寫代碼的人工智能軟件工程師Devin,還省下了六位數年薪。公司計劃未來可能部署數千個Devin,通過人工智能工具將員工生產力提升四倍以上。高盛技術負責人認為未來是“人機協同”的混合勞動力時代,但福特首席執行官吉姆·法利警告稱白領工作正迅速流失。
這位新員工不會跟同事里?!ぬK納克喝咖啡閑聊,也不會參加公司下班后的歡樂時光。Devin只會晝夜不停地寫代碼。
華爾街投行高盛最近宣布,已“聘用”初創公司Cognition開發的人工智能自主軟件工程師Devin。高盛首席信息官馬可·阿根蒂表示,Devin能完成端到端的編程任務,員工生產力有望比使用以往人工智能工具提升三到四倍。
“我們將開始用Devin加強團隊,就像招了一位新員工,代表開發人員完成任務,” 近期阿根蒂接受美國消費者新聞與商業頻道(CNBC)采訪時表示。
阿根蒂補充說,高盛計劃先部署數百個Devin,未來可能擴至數千個,加入近1.2萬名軟件工程師隊伍,由此開啟“人機共存”的混合勞動力時代。
“關鍵在于人類與人工智能并肩協作,” 阿根蒂說,“工程師要學會清晰描述問題,轉化為指令,并監督人工智能工具工作。”

人工智能取代白領及初級崗位的憂慮升溫
大力推廣Devin的同時,高盛仍在全球招聘軟件工程師,紐約某些初級崗位起薪11.5萬美元,最高可達18萬美元。
不過業界領袖警告,類似初級崗位可能最先被人工智能取代。Anthropic首席執行官達里奧·阿莫迪預測,五年內人工智能可能淘汰一半初級白領崗位。福特(Ford)首席執行官吉姆·法利更悲觀,稱美國所有白領崗位都將被取代,不僅僅是初級崗位。
“實現美國夢的道路不止一條,但整個體系都更側重四年制大學教育,”上個月在法利出席阿斯彭思想節(Aspen Ideas Festival)時表示,“2019年以來,科技公司初級員工招聘人數已減少50%。我們真希望孩子們都去擠這條路嗎?人工智能真的會取代美國一半的白領員工?!?/p>
具體到銀行業,彭博社(Bloomberg)估計未來三到五年華爾街可能減少20萬個崗位。不過阿根蒂認為,掌握人工智能技術的人才能贏得未來,對面臨初級崗位減少的年輕人來說尤為重要。
“人工智能變革幾年內就會發生,而不是幾十年,” 阿根蒂在為《財富》撰寫的評論中寫道,“不能熟練使用人工智能工具的員工將會被逐漸淘汰,而學會利用人工智能提升工作的人將脫穎而出。”(財富中文網)

? Goldman Sachs just hired Devin, an AI-powered software engineer that’s capable of coding just as well as humans—minus six-figure salaries. The company also has plans to potentially unleash it by the thousands and expand workers’ productivity with AI tools by over four times. While the firm’s tech leader sees a future that’s a “hybrid workforce” between humans and AI, leaders like Ford CEO Jim Farley warn of a decrease in white-collar work.
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.
The Wall Street investment bank recently unveiled it had hired Devin: a new AI-powered autonomous software engineer, created by AI startup Cognition. With the tool being capable of conducting end-to-end coding tasks, Goldman hopes it will improve worker productivity by up to three or four times the rate of previous AI tools, according to Goldman’s chief information officer Marco Argenti.
“We’re going to start augmenting our workforce with Devin, which is going to be like our new employee who’s going to start doing stuff on the behalf of our developers,” Argenti recently told CNBC.
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.
Growing concerns over AI killing white-collar roles and entry-level gigs
Despite the push to launch Devin, Goldman is continuing to hire software engineers, with dozens of open roles around the world. The salary of some New York–based associate roles start out at around $115,000 annually—and can even extend to $180,000.
But business leaders have warned that these early career roles are the ones that AI might make obsolete the soonest. For example, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei predicted that AI could eliminate half of all entry-level white-collar jobs within five years. Ford CEO Jim Farley went even further, and warned that all white-collar work could disappear in the U.S.—beyond those early in their careers.
“There’s more than one way to the American Dream, but our whole education system is focused on four-year [college] education,” Farley said at the Aspen Ideas Festival last month. “Hiring an entry worker at a tech company has fallen 50% since 2019. Is that really where we want all of our kids to go? Artificial intelligence is gonna replace literally half of all white-collar workers in the U.S.”
For the banking industry in particular, this AI-driven workforce transformation could lead to 200,000 fewer people on Wall Street within the next three to five years, according to Bloomberg. However, Argenti said that those who choose to embrace AI will be best equipped for a successful future, and it’s especially important for young talent facing dwindling entry-level roles.
“The AI shift is happening in years, not decades,” Argenti wrote in a commentary piece for Fortune. “Workers who lack proficiency in leveraging AI tools will fall behind, and those who have learned to harness it to elevate their work will advance,” he added.
