STOCKHOLM — In a recent seminar held in Seoul, South Korea, EQT, in partnership with Nobel Prize Outreach, brought together a diverse panel from the Korea Foundation for Women in Science, Engineering, and Technology, Korea Investment Corporation (KIC), and EQT’s Motherbrain platform to discuss the impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in finance and education sectors globally, according to a press release published on EuropaWire.

The seminar, a part of the “Future Learning: Exploring Science & Technology” conference, focused on the integration of generative AI in financial practices and its potential to enhance diversity within the sector. The discussion highlighted the need for objectivity in AI model training and the critical role of unbiased data to avoid perpetuating existing biases.

Conni Jonsson, Founder & Chairperson of EQT, emphasized the significance of collaborative platforms in fostering innovation. “Every innovation starts as an idea. As global institutions, one of our most important contributions can be to create open forums for debate and knowledge sharing,” Jonsson stated.

The session also featured a live Q&A with female STEM students from Seoul’s leading universities, who engaged with the panel on the practicalities of ensuring AI’s ethical implementation. Alexandra Lutz, Head of Motherbrain at EQT, underscored the importance of AI literacy as a fundamental competency in the digital age. “Understanding AI and its applications will be crucial for driving innovation and efficiency across various sectors,” Lutz commented.

Laura Sprechmann, CEO of Nobel Prize Outreach, also spoke at the event, noting the alignment of both organizations in their curiosity about the future of technology in education. “Our conversation today highlighted the significant implications of AI for the future of talent and the primary skills needed to advance science and technology,” Sprechmann concluded.

The seminar and ensuing discussions reinforced EQT’s role as an International Partner of Nobel Prize Outreach, which is committed to organizing cross-disciplinary forums that address global challenges and foster dialogue among Nobel laureates, scientists, and thought leaders.
