Goldman Sachs at 150: Part 9 – Crisis (2008)
In June 2006, Lloyd Blankfein succeeded Hank Paulson as CEO of Goldman Sachs, guiding the firm through the unfolding U.S. housing bubble and the subsequent 2008 financial crisis. While the collapse triggered a cascade of market failures and froze global credit, Goldman Sachs mitigated significant financial losses despite admitting they spent the period "scrambling" to manage emerging risks. Following the turmoil, the bank faced intense reputational backlash for its resilience and government bailouts, prompting leadership to establish a Business Standards Committee, enhance transparency regarding derivatives, and commit to a more robust public dialogue about their societal influence.

Eric Schmidt: The Artificial Intelligence Revolution
Goldman Sachs accelerates its cloud migration to leverage superior cybersecurity and specialized hardware for AI workloads, while the broader industry shifts toward data-driven deep learning that prioritizes scale over algorithmic provability. This transition enables "savant systems" in fields like healthcare and finance to automate trial-and-error processes, supported by a global talent market increasingly dominated by computer science graduates. Although these technologies promise to democratize expert-level capabilities through on-device and cloud computing, their adoption faces monetization hurdles and ongoing geopolitical competition, particularly from China.
