According to Bloomberg, internal guidance updated in October reserves these tools, including Microsoft's GitHub, for engineers. Bankers had been able to use them for months. Traders used them to track client flows and simulate market moves. Quantitative strats remain authorised. In April, the bank had already cut Claude access for its Hong Kong bankers. A spokesperson said the bank makes certain AI tools available to determine the best use cases across the firm.
