Yang Jonghee, Chairman of KB Financial Group, stated, "New technologies provide benefits to more people and give individuals the opportunity to focus on more valuable tasks. Therefore, our developers must also prepare for the future with artificial intelligence (AI), maintaining a challenging mindset and acting as 'problem solvers.'"

According to KB Financial Group on November 30, Chairman Yang attended the "7th KB Tech Forum PLAY with AI" held on the 28th at the KB Kookmin Bank New Building in Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul, where he emphasized, "Taking care of your health is also important, so make sure to maintain a balanced self-management."

The "KB Tech Forum" is the group's largest technology-sharing event, held annually since 2021 to strengthen digital financial competitiveness and foster a creative technology ecosystem. Marking its seventh year, this forum was attended by Chairman Yang, Lee Changkwon, Head of Digital & IT at KB Financial Group, as well as the CEOs of all subsidiaries. Over 200 employees from the tech, AI, and digital divisions of all subsidiaries-including KB Kookmin Bank, KB Securities, KB Insurance, and KB Kookmin Card-as well as key partner company staff, participated to share the latest technology trends and practical know-how for on-site application.

This year's forum, held under the slogan "Play, Learn, and Advance with AI and You," was designed as a participatory event where attendees could directly experience and utilize the latest AI technologies and AI agents to enhance their development capabilities.

The event began with Chairman Yang's welcome speech, followed by ▲ Developer Sessions I & II (AI Agents, Tech & AI) and ▲ Partner Sessions.

Through the developer sessions, KB Financial Group shared practical experiences from the field. According to the company, real-world application cases of the latest technologies-such as ▲ the development of a Private Banker (PB) agent, ▲ the creation of AI-based infrastructure automation tools, and ▲ the development of a generative AI-based insurance document OCR solution-were well received by participants.

In the partner sessions, companies collaborating with KB Financial Group to build a digital financial ecosystem shared ▲ prompt engineering strategies and ▲ the future of AI-based development technologies with developers from each subsidiary.

A KB Financial Group representative stated, "We will continue to actively explore the latest technologies and support the sharing of these experiences among our teams," adding, "We will strive to further solidify a 'technology-driven organizational culture' where the accumulation of technological capabilities naturally leads to innovation in customer experience."
