AI Deal Activity Continues Despite Market Swings

Solomon expects capital markets activity to continue over the next two months and said Goldman has been “very active” in AI capital markets deals over recent weeks. His comments cover both a near-term outlook for overall capital markets activity and Goldman’s recent participation in AI transactions.^¹²³

AI-related stocks, including chipmakers and neocloud providers, have tumbled in recent weeks. The selloff began before the U.S. midterm elections and intensified after Democrats scored sweeping victories on Tuesday. Solomon said political changes create recalibrations and ups and downs. He described the market environment as still pretty constructive.^¹³

Solomon Links AI Investment to Compute Demand

Solomon said demand remains very strong for investment in the AI infrastructure build and the technology around AI’s growth. He also said he deeply believes in AI’s long-term power to drive productivity in the economy. His remarks link current investment demand with his view of AI’s potential role in economic output over time.^¹³

Solomon said the infrastructure is essential to the U.S. economy. He also said he does not want that infrastructure going to places outside the U.S., arguing that this could happen naturally because demand for computing capacity is there. His comments place the infrastructure buildout and the location of computing resources at the centre of his case for continued investment.^¹³

Goldman Tracks Trading Shifts and Anthropic’s IPO

On Tuesday, Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon highlighted emerging opportunities in artificial intelligence, electronic trading and digital finance during the company’s third-quarter earnings call. He described the shift toward electronic equity trading as a growth opportunity for Goldman’s business rather than a threat. The comments put changes in trading technology alongside AI as areas the firm is watching.^¹²³

Goldman is closely watching tokenization, agentic trading, decentralized finance vaults and prediction markets for potential opportunities and risks. Solomon also said the firm’s third-quarter trading performance included no unusual factors that would materially affect fourth-quarter expectations. The two comments cover both emerging areas the bank monitors and his assessment of the trading quarter.^¹²³

Anthropic is preparing for a potential IPO, and Goldman is among the banks leading that process.

AI Infrastructure Roles Need Compute-Side Skills

If you are weighing a role in AI infrastructure, focus on compute capacity and the constraints around it. Demand for computing capacity outpaces supply, and financing remains strong, so companies are still hiring for roles tied to data centers, power, and regulation. A skill in managing these bottlenecks, not just model development, carries weight. The market's ups and downs, including the recent selloff, do not change the underlying demand for infrastructure investment.^¹³

A skill in managing these bottlenecks, not just model development, carries weight.

For pay and job security, look at firms active in AI capital markets deals, as they report rising revenue and fees. Goldman's investment-banking fees rose 21% to $3.22 billion, and equities trading brought in $6.44 billion, showing where money flows. If you are in finance or trading, electronic equity trading is a growth area, not a threat, so roles there may offer stronger leverage in negotiations. Also, watch for IPO activity like Anthropic's, which creates demand for professionals who can handle public listings.^¹²³
