Bank of Cyprus hosts event on artificial intelligence and future careers

On October 13, the Bank of Cyprus held an event as part of its 'Young People Ask' initiative, focusing on the impact of artificial intelligence on education, employment, and future career paths. The event, which falls under the bank’s corporate social responsibility program, provided a platform for students to engage with experts regarding the integration of technology in the workplace and the evolving skills required for future professional success.

Elpidoforos Anastasiou, head of educational innovation for STEAM and emerging technologies at Globeducate and head of innovation at Pascal, served as the primary guest speaker. Anastasiou addressed concerns about how AI influences traditional professions and discussed strategies for students to adapt to an increasingly technology-driven labor market. The initiative is linked to the upcoming 'Spouda-Zo' exhibition, which is supported by the bank and organized by the Ministry of Education, Sport and Youth on October 17. The discussion aimed to bridge the gap between academic preparation and the practical demands of a digital future, emphasizing the bank's commitment to supporting youth dialogue on critical socioeconomic shifts.
