[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jun-yi] The People Power Party is unveiling 'AI Yoon Seok-yeol' as their second 'silk pouch.' The plan is to create a virtual avatar of candidate Yoon to use in regional campaigns.


According to the People Power Party on the 15th, presidential candidate Yoon Seok-yeol and Party Leader Lee discussed 'AI Yoon Seok-yeol' during a private meeting on the 13th.


AI Yoon Seok-yeol involves creating a virtual avatar of candidate Yoon through machine learning, which will then be used for election campaigning.


The People Power Party is currently engaged in machine learning work. Once this technology is applied, AI can be sent to places where candidate Yoon cannot easily visit to spread campaign pledges.


To this end, candidate Yoon reportedly met with Party Leader Lee last weekend to shoot profile photos and full-body videos.


Additionally, a campaign vehicle utilizing GPS (Global Positioning System) is considered one of Leader Lee's 'silk pouches.' The plan is to deploy campaign vehicles equipped with GPS nationwide, allowing citizens to search for and locate them.


The first GPS campaign vehicle will be driven by Leader Lee himself, who holds a taxi driver's license, with candidate Yoon riding in the passenger seat to maximize public interest.


A People Power Party official explained in a phone call that "(both AI Yoon Seok-yeol and the GPS campaign vehicle) represent efforts to incorporate technology into election campaigning to appeal to younger voters' preferences."



Previously, Leader Lee unveiled 'Kraken' (tentative name), a comment manipulation response program, as the first silk pouch delivered to candidate Yoon. Leader Lee had stated that he prepared and delivered '20 silk pouches' as strategies for candidate Yoon, who was selected as the party's presidential candidate, to overcome the ruling party's attacks.
