Unlocking Investment Literacy in the AI Era: Key Seminar Details

Upcoming Seminar: "Investment Literacy in the Age of AI"

On October 2, 2026, an event aimed at enhancing investment literacy in the AI-dominated landscape will take place in Tokyo. Led by prominent speakers, including Hasen Kuniyama from FOX UNION and Susumu Namikawa, Chief AI Officer at Dentsu Japan, this seminar will tackle the rising trend of "AI-driven investments"—a phenomenon where investors base decisions on AI-generated recommendations without personal verification.

The seminar comes in light of a survey conducted by Property Agent, examining the extent to which individuals rely on AI outputs for investment decisions. The survey revealed a staggering 32.8% of participants, mainly millennials, have consulted generative AI platforms such as ChatGPT for investment advice. Alarmingly, the data also suggests that among those who act solely on AI recommendations, 85.6% reported having incurred losses, emphasizing the critical need for personal verification.

Apart from presentations detailing these findings, the event will include a unique interactive workshop. Participants are encouraged to bring their smartphones to engage directly with ChatGPT, learning to critically assess AI responses against their individual contexts—essentially teaching them to think independently about the advice they receive.

Background on the Event

The initial survey conducted in July 2026 highlighted the risks of "AI dependency" in investment decisions. With a rising number of investors utilizing AI tools, the gap between relying solely on AI recommendations and verifying those suggestions reflects significant divergence in outcomes. This initiative aims to cultivate a mindset of verification among participants.

Anxiety surrounding AI’s role in investment stems from concerns like believing inaccuracies (47.9%) and experiencing cognitive automation (44.2%). However, 70.7% of participants express a desire to continue integrating AI in their decision-making processes, particularly among younger demographics.

Key Highlights of the Seminar

The event, hosted by Property Agent, will provide attendees with three main takeaways:
1. Data-Driven Insights: The unique survey insights will unravel the realities of "AI-driven investments" and highlight the significant role verification plays in successful investment outcomes.
2. Diverse Perspectives: Engaging discussions led by industry experts will delve into optimal ways to leverage AI responsibly in investment strategies, providing multifaceted views on this evolving landscape.
3. Hands-On Experience: Participants will directly interact with AI tools through guided exercises, fostering skills to contextualize AI-generated recommendations in their investment strategies.
