In Krasnoyarsk, for the third time, the financial literacy forum “Finzozh: invest wisely!” As in past years, the event was held at the Fanpark “Beaver Log” and gathered more than 200 students of Krasnoyarsk universities.
The initiator of the project is the Norkel company. Finzozh helps young people learn everything about financial literacy and investment basics. Here, the guys learn to be responsible for the personal budget in an adult way, form a conscious and responsible attitude to money. This year, the T-Bank was the general partner of the forum, and the role of AI in financial management was chosen as a key topic.
“Today we discussed the role of artificial intelligence in our financial life and key AI tools that are used in Fintech. Participants learned how technologies help in credit scoring – assessment of creditworthiness, as well as how decisions on the issuance of loans are made using AI. We talked about how artificial intelligence helps in managing personal finances – to save, put off, save, and for beginners in the stock market – to form a starting investment portfolio. It is pleasant to see students' lively interest, they ask very correct questions, ”said the speaker of the forum, a researcher-developer of the T-Bank Artificial Intelligence Center Evgeny Zhukov.
Speakers introduced the participants to the basic principles of cyber graminess. The expert of the branch of Krasnoyarsk Bank of Russia Ulyana Fedotkin spoke about counteracting new threats in the network and cyber abuse. She recalled that people, even if they are regularly warned of danger, still fall into the trap of swindlers. Even banking systems that are regularly improved.
“In the first half of 2025 alone, 82.5 million thefts were prevented in Russia, which is almost three times more than in the first half of 2024 – eight trillion rubles were saved. New laws are introduced, new barriers on the path of scammers to our money, but this is not a panacea. They managed to steal 13 billion rubles from Russians for the same six months. And today we talked with young guys just about how to protect ourselves, this is also an effective tool in the fight against attackers – everyone’s personal vigilance. And in this sense, it is very important that the forum participants received new knowledge and once again thought about whether all protection measures are in their arsenal, ”said Ulyana Fedotkin.
The moderator of the forum was the deputy chief editor of the newspaper “Our Krasnoyarsk Territory” Andrei Maksimov. He told the participants in the intricacies of generative art and creating creative projects using AI. Also, the event was attended by the doctor of technical sciences, commercial director of Cyber Strategy LLC Pavel Strigin, Doctor of Technical Sciences, Professor of Siberian State University named after academician M.F. Reshetnev Evgeny Sopov, Deputy Head of the Center for the Region of the KGKU Center for Information Technologies of the Krasnoyarsk Territory Anna Osikova.
According to students, the forum gives really useful knowledge, which are applicable both in study and in everyday life.
“I have been at this event for the second year. Last time, there was a topic of investment, a securities market. I liked the speakers very much, and I decided that it would not be superfluous again. Today is no less useful. In general, I am interested in the theme of artificial intelligence. I liked that the experts made a line between artificial intelligence and neural networks, showing that this is not the same thing. Another important conclusion: it is impossible to blindly trust AI, there should be the ratio of human intelligence and artificial – then there will be an effect and benefit, ”said Maria Kosykh, a fourth -year student of the Fourth year in the direction of“ Economic Security ”.
Student Diana Boeva noted that she is an accountant-economist in first education, and now she is studying At the Institute of Navy Metals of the Siberian Railway in the direction of “Mining”.
“Today I plunged into the topic of AI. Using artificial intelligence, it is easier to draw up a financial plan and calculate the airbag. AI can also be applicable in learning – for example, future miners and metallurgists with its help can simulate and visualize careers and mountain cuts, ”said the student Diana Boeva.
For the entire time of the forum “Finzozh in Bobrov Loga: Invest wisely!” Its participants became more than 600 high school students and students. The knowledge gained on the forum will be useful both for personal development and for building a successful career in the future: the skills of owning technology and will have a great advantage in the labor market.
