Sources: 4. Developments: 2. South Korean local governments are increasingly adopting generative AI assistants to automate administrative tasks and support data-driven policy formulation. Jeonnam Gwangju Integrated Special City developed an in-house ‘AI analysis assistant’ to assist civil servants with data analysis and report drafting. The system utilizes verified data to analyze population movements and spending patterns, aiming to support urban planning and identify financially vulnerable groups. Similarly, Gangnam-gu implemented an ‘AI Work Assistant’ specifically for civil service and local tax departments. To ensure accuracy and prevent hallucinations, the system is restricted to searching pre-registered official documents and provides specific citations for verification. This system operates on a local server to maintain data security, with potential future expansions into the welfare and legal sectors. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-25: Gangnam-gu implements AI assistant for civil service and tax tasks Gangnam-gu has introduced an AI Work Assistant to help staff navigate complex laws and administrative data for civil service and local tax tasks, ensuring accuracy through direct source verification. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/gangnam-gu-implements-ai-assistant-for-civil-service-and-tax-tasks ### 2026-08-23: Jeonnam Gwangju develops in-house AI assistant for policy analysis Jeonnam Gwangju Integrated Special City has developed an in-house generative AI assistant to automate data analysis and report drafting, helping officials create more effective, data-driven public policies. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/jeonnam-gwangju-develops-in-house-ai-assistant-for-policy-analysis --- Cite as: South Korean local government AI adoption.
