KB Kookmin Bank is leading the way in the practical use of generative artificial intelligence (AI) among its executives, accelerating a company-wide initiative for AI-driven innovation.
On September 3, KB Kookmin Bank announced that it conducted practical training for executives and department heads on utilizing generative AI 'Copilot' in their work.
This training was designed in-house by KB Kookmin Bank without external outsourcing. Participants engaged in creating draft business plans for 2027 using generative AI, moving beyond basic AI functionality training to practical application.
CEO Lee Hwan-joo also took part in the training. By having executives utilize AI in their work and experience its benefits firsthand, the bank aims to foster a top-down approach to organizational AI transformation.
Additionally, the bank is laying the groundwork for a culture of AI utilization across the organization. It has established an 'AI Center of Excellence' to lead AI agent development by assigning dedicated AI personnel to each business group and incorporating AI utilization metrics into organizational and individual evaluations.
KB Kookmin Bank is also operating an 'AI Academy' to cultivate AI expertise and has introduced an 'AI Challenge Program' to share employees' experiences and best practices in AI usage. In the future, the bank plans to expand Copilot licenses and training to operational staff in each department and pilot its application in the second half of the year for business planning.
A representative from KB Kookmin Bank stated, "Leaders must first utilize AI in their work and experience its effects for a culture of AI utilization to spread rapidly throughout the organization. We will continue to enhance our employees' AI capabilities."
