In the Web3 sector, Choi Cheol, former head of SK AIX Convergence Group, and Jeong Jae-wook, former head of digital new business at Hana Bank, have been selected.
Eight experts from academia and industry, including Lee Kyung-rok, CEO of BrainCrew, will join as technology partners for collaboration.
A Shinhan Bank official stated, "We launched the academy to enable employees to naturally utilize AI in their work and lead technological innovations needed in the financial sector. We aim to provide differentiated financial experiences to our customers based on AI and digital technology."
