Why Goldman Sachs' tech chief envisions a future of humans managing AI agents
Listen and subscribe to Opening Bid on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube or wherever you find your favorite podcasts. In the continuing saga of humans vs. the AI revolution, fear is common for anyone fretting about its impact on their job or quality of life. "Listen, this [AI] is just another transition, like before Excel, after Excel, or before or after you could use a search engine," Goldman Sachs (GS) chief information officer Marco Argenti told Yahoo Finance Executive Editor Brian Sozzi on a new episode of the Opening Bid podcast (see the video above or listen below). "It's more about what part of your job is like something that you really feel that you add unique value," he continued. "It elevates your work rather than doing repetitive tasks." This embedded content is not available in your region. Argenti is fluent in the dance between human and machine. Before joining Goldman Sachs, he was involved in tech integration across several departments within Amazon's (AMZN) AWS cloud services division. "I came in 2013, which was almost at the beginning of a mega cycle of cloud computing," he recalled. Argenti joined Goldman Sachs in 2019, just as AI was beginning its rise in everyday use. "I would estimate that at this moment, close to two-thirds of the organization in one way or another is exposed to an AI tool," he said of the investment bank. AI adoption comes in waves, starting with using it to make existing processes more efficient, followed by deeper integration into the organization, Argenti said. Another milestone is using AI agents to perform tasks such as analysis and data extraction in reports. "The way you scale those agents is that [they] are outsourced to other agents," he said. "The same way as you have managers." Early on, fear of AI's negative impacts on the human workforce reigned supreme. In 2023, critics cited lack of human insight, creativity, and privacy issues among their concerns. That same year, Goldman Sachs estimated AI could upend as many as 300 million jobs, and Resume Builder surveyed 750 business leaders about their attitudes toward AI. Of the companies using AI, 37% said the technology would replace some of their workers. In 2024, a separate poll found that 44% of employers would "definitely or probably" lay off workers due to AI. Meanwhile, the economy has had its AI-related ups and downs. Last summer, AI chip king Nvidia (NVDA) disrupted the "Magnificent Seven" and briefly became the highest-valued company. Later, upstarts like DeepSeek entered the arena, threatening incumbent large language models (LLM) by doing a similar job for cheaper. Yet, it isn't as simple as replacing humans with machines. Everything has a shelf life, and according to Argenti, AI agents aren't immune. "Essentially, you shut them down or retrain them," he said of the risks of an AI workforce. "You can actually put them back to the drawing board and retrain them." Argenti envisions a world where humans and machines coexist, with their best talents being put to use. "You might have some job displacement at the beginning, but then those industries tend to create a lot of new jobs," he said. "We have 12,000 developers within Goldman Sachs out of 45,000 people. If we didn't have computers, we wouldn't have those people, and so generally it rebalances itself." "I think that will be the same for AI, except there is a certain velocity," he said.

Why Visa's chief economist agrees with Elon Musk on the need to have more kids
Listen and subscribe to Opening Bid on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, or wherever you find your favorite podcasts. Tesla (TSLA) CEO Elon Musk is outspoken about the need for more children to boost population growth, and Visa (V) chief economist Wayne Best agrees that something needs to be done. 'We have to be careful that we're still going to be productive and allow for a labor force that will allow this economy to grow,' he told Yahoo Finance Executive Editor Brian Sozzi on a new episode of the Opening Bid podcast (see video above; listen below). 'If we don't have additional kids in the future, that's going to create some challenges.' This embedded content is not available in your region. Best has over three decades of experience examining and forecasting in the economics field. He has been Visa's chief economist for more than 35 years. 'Part of our longer-term forecast as we think about the potential growth of this economy, which is, frankly, very much determinant-based on the size of the labor force,' he added. Despite population growth of up to 5% in the past, a slowdown signals 'those days are long gone,' and in their stead is a slower growth season that the US has to prepare for, Best said. Musk has not shied away from his participation in contributing to population growth. In the past, he has allegedly offered to father children with women, used the service of surrogates, and struck up secret deals, all of which are related to expanding his family. At last count, he is the father of 14 children and has frequently taken to X (formerly Twitter) to champion having children, with dispatches that declare "having children is saving the world." In the early days of his time running DOGE in the Trump administration, he was often photographed on the job with his four-year-old son, known as "Lil X." The apple doesn't fall too far from the tree in the Musk family. His mother recently advised people to have children even if they can't afford them, declaring they 'add value to your life." The slowing birth rate in the US is undeniable. In 2022, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported an average of 1.66 births per woman, down from 1.88 in 2012 and 2.02 in 2022. Part of the reason for the decline is likely related to the costs associated with raising children. Lending Tree recently reported that raising a child for 18 years will cost parents $279,674 on average, with those expenses in four US states, including Hawaii, costing over $300,000. However, with nearly 12,000 people expected to turn 65 daily between 'now and the end of the decade,' according to Best, 'it really comes down to immigration and what the outlook for that looks like.' Yahoo Finance's Invest conference is coming soon — register here The southern part of the country has benefited from domestic and international migration, he said. It has experienced population growth of 5.6% since 2020, and nearly 78% of the jobs created in the US over the past five years were in the South, per Best. 'If you look at the growth of the South, in terms of the population, nearly 84% of it came from international migration,' he added. That population change is one element, and the other 'is because these new entrants coming in need more types of stores [and] places where they're going to spend,' Best continued. 'The whole South has transformed themselves from a couple decades ago.'
