Marco Argenti Is one of TIME's 2026 Executives of the Year: Tech and Data - Time Magazine

Under chief information officer Marco Argenti, Goldman Sachs has leveled up its use of AI from experimentation to the firm’s major operating system. Its GS AI Assistant is now used weekly by about 40,000 of its 46,200 employees, who ask it millions of questions each month; more than 100 specialized versions layer proprietary data and workflows onto the common platform.

Argenti isn’t stopping there. Through Goldman’s OneGS 3.0 program, announced in October 2025, the company is redesigning processes including onboarding, know-your-customer protocols, reconciliations, and vendor management around teams of people, software, and AI agents. More than 12,000 engineers have access to AI coding tools, which Argenti says are already producing at least 20% efficiency gains, while shifting developers from writing code toward specifying and overseeing what agents build. The next step is to roll out agents that continuously analyze markets, transactions, and client assets to inform decisions. “AI is going from tactical to strategic,” Argenti says.
