The "2025 Healthy Stock Market Forum," held at the Korea Exchange Conference Hall in Yeouido, Seoul on November 4, concluded successfully with the participation of more than 120 experts from academia, the legal community, the financial investment industry, and related institutions.
During the forum, participants suggested that the financial investment industry should shift from traditional digital finance to AI-driven finance in the era of artificial intelligence (AI). Cho Sungjoon, Professor of Industrial Engineering at Seoul National University, who was the first to take the stage, stated, "AI finance can enhance productivity, reliability, and transparency, while also enabling risk management tailored to individual clients."

This means that digital finance, which previously focused on financial investment through branch offices and then moved to Home Trading Services (HTS) and Mobile Trading Systems (MTS), must now evolve further to data-driven automation, advancing decision-making and judgment processes.
He emphasized that, to transition to AI finance, financial institutions need to establish an AI vision and organizational structure, strengthen internal data quality and security, and foster AI-integrated talent.
Next, Kang Hyunggu, Professor of Finance and Business at Hanyang University, explained the impact of AI technology across asset management and trading, as well as strategic changes within the capital market resulting from the shift to an AI-based ecosystem.
During the subsequent panel discussion moderated by Yeon Taehun, Senior Research Fellow at the Korea Institute of Finance, panelists including Kim Simok, Attorney at Yulchon LLC; Kim Jinsook, Partner at Deloitte Korea; Noh Sungho, Research Fellow at the Korea Capital Market Institute; and Noh Hyunbin, Director at Shinhan Investment Corp., exchanged views on the changes that AI technology will bring to Korea's capital market and the direction for management and regulation of these changes.
Kim Hongsik, Chairman of the Market Surveillance Committee, stated, "Even amid positive market trends such as the recent record highs of the KOSPI, we must proactively respond to technological changes and prepare for the leap toward the future capital market." He added, "I hope this forum will serve as an opportunity to explore the growth potential that AI can bring to our capital market, as well as to review management measures for potential risks."
