Goldman Sachs is preparing the next generation of finance leaders to harness AI in the workplace. The 2025 internship program is highly selective, receiving over 360,000 applications with a mere 0.7% acceptance rate. Marco Argenti emphasizes the importance of equipping young professionals, termed 'AI natives', with necessary skills to lead rather than follow in AI integration. He asserts that their creativity and adaptability are vital in making AI a collaborative partner rather than just a tool, highlighting the cultural and educational shifts required to succeed.
Understanding how we nurture a generation of AI natives—and equip them with the right skills and tools to be leaders and not passive observers of this transformation—will be critical to defining the future of work, and society at large.
Their instincts, creativity, and adaptability will determine how successfully we integrate AI into our organizations, not just as a tool but as a partner.
The challenge ahead is beyond technological; it is cultural, educational, and distinctively human.
Consider the CEOs of companies like Devin [AI], Windsurf, and Scale AI—all AI natives.
