Lee Jae-myung Government's AI Transformation Accelerates Local Governments' Response

Digital Daily | Local Language | News | Nov. 14, 2025 | UndeterminedTech Development/Adoption

President Lee Jae-myung's government is advancing the "AI Transformation (AX)" policy by accelerating AI integration across local governments including Seoul, Gyeonggi Province, Busan, and Sejong Special Self-Governing City. These metropolitan areas have established dedicated AI organizations and are fostering public-private cooperation ecosystems to embed AI into local policy, industry, and administration.

Seoul is implementing AI policies down to the district level, with Gangseo District declaring itself an "AI-specialized city" and enacting a "Basic Ordinance on Artificial Intelligence" to institutionalize AI adoption across education, healthcare, welfare, and industry. Gyeonggi Province created the "Gyeonggi-do Artificial Intelligence Committee" with subcommittees for policy, ethics, and innovation, focusing on AI registration systems, administrative automation, and ethical standards to model an "AI administration" across sectors.

Busan is pursuing an industry-focused AI city model through the "WAVE Project," valued at 1 trillion won, aimed at integrating AI with key industries such as shipping, ports, and defense. The project plans to begin in 2027 following a feasibility study. Sejong City, as an administrative hub, formed an "AI Innovation Task Force" to enhance public services with generative AI and automation, operating specialized subcommittees aligned with the national AX policy.

The AI transformation in local governments has moved beyond experimental stages to become institutionalized, incorporating AI efforts across policy, industry, and administration simultaneously. Despite progress, challenges remain in evaluating performance, establishing ethical standards, and addressing regional disparities as the projects continue to expand.
