Uiseong County Council Takes First Step Toward 'AI Legislation'... Paving New Paths in Legislative and Policy Development

Launching Tailored AI Utilization Models for Local Councils
Exploring Practical Legislative Innovation Strategies for On-Site Application

The Uiseong County Council has officially launched research aimed at applying artificial intelligence (AI) to legislative and policy development activities.

The 'Basic Local Council AI Utilization Research Group,' a parliamentary research association chaired by Assemblywoman Lee Kuiae, held its kick-off briefing for the 'Basic Local Council AI Utilization Plan Research' project on August 27 in the council’s second-floor conference room.

The research group was formed to identify practical ways to enhance lawmakers’ legislative and policy development expertise and improve the efficiency of council activities by leveraging AI technologies.

This research project will analyze AI technologies applicable to local legislative activities, review domestic and international cases of AI utilization, and develop application strategies tailored specifically to the circumstances of the Uiseong County Council.

In particular, the focus will be on detailing how AI can be effectively utilized in key legislative tasks, such as enacting and revising ordinances, analyzing policy data, and reviewing regional issues.

The kick-off meeting brought together research group members, relevant officials from the executive branch, and representatives from the project service provider, who shared research directions and major tasks while discussing future implementation plans.

This research draws attention as it systematically examines the potential of AI utilization at the level of basic local councils at a time when the widespread adoption of generative AI is rapidly transforming administrative and industrial work processes. The study’s results will depend on going beyond simple technological adoption to establish practical models for legislative and policy development processes.

Chairwoman Lee Kuiae stated, “As AI technology is being adopted in various fields, it is necessary for local councils to proactively leverage it in their legislative activities. Through this research, we will improve the efficiency of council operations and develop actionable AI utilization strategies that can be directly applied to our work.”
