South Korea's government has developed an AI legal secretary service to assist public servants with legal grounds in policy planning and implementation. The service uses a homegrown AI foundation model and is available on a trial basis.
SEOUL, July 13 (Yonhap) -- The government has developed an "AI legal secretary" service that public servants can refer to when reviewing legal grounds in the course of policy planning and implementation, and put it into operation on a trial basis this week, officials said Monday.
The artificial intelligence (AI) service, to be available starting Tuesday, is equipped with about 240,000 cases of judicial precedents, laws and regulations, and can answer various legal queries from officials, the ministry of government legislation said.
The ministry developed the service in collaboration with the interior ministry and the science ministry.
A homegrown AI foundation model is used to generate responses, and the service will serve only as an interim reference rather than a final legal judgment, officials said.
"Interpreting and implementing law is one of the most challenging tasks for public services because it requires a high degree of expertise," Government Legislation Minister Cho Won-cheol said. "The AI secretary service is expected to dramatically improve the work efficiency of public officials."
