Tokyo, June 2 (Jiji Press)--Major Japanese banking group Resona Holdings Inc. has established an internal team to deal with cutting-edge artificial intelligence models highly adept at detecting system vulnerabilities, Group CEO and President Masahiro Minami has said in a recent interview.

The rise of high-performance AI is "both a great opportunity and a risk," Minami said, indicating his intention to promptly strengthen security systems.

The team mainly comprises members from departments related to information technology security and group strategy.
