Jin Ok-dong, chairman of Shinhan Financial Group, said, "This year is the time to move to a stage where all employees on the ground actually use AI," and added, "I expect the 100 AX innovation leaders to serve as a catalyst by maximizing their ability to use AI agents and boosting AX competitiveness across the group."

AX innovation leaders identify AI- and data-based tasks for innovation in their respective work areas and redesign repetitive and inefficient tasks from an AX perspective. They then directly design and implement AI agents optimized for their work by using in-house Generative AI and unstructured data platforms.
