[Exclusive] Ruling Party Develops AX Program "BlueMate" for Political Newcomers

Collaboration with Political Think Tank Valid

Support for Election Law Review and Campaign Material Creation

"Practical Support for Young Political Newcomers"

The National Youth Committee of the Democratic Party of Korea is set to introduce "BlueMate" (tentative name), an Artificial Intelligence (AI) Transformation (AX) program designed for young candidates running in the June 3 Nationwide Simultaneous Local Elections.

According to a summary of The Asia Business Daily’s coverage on May 7, the Youth Committee will hold an event on May 8 to present and demonstrate BlueMate. The Youth Committee plans to distribute this program to young candidates who have secured their party nominations, along with an election manual and a candidate promotion kit.

BlueMate provides various features for young candidates preparing for elections without a campaign team, such as primary monitoring of election laws, support for creating campaign materials, and schedule management.

The product was developed in collaboration with the political think tank Valid. Yang Sohee, co-CEO of Valid and a participant in the development, explained, "Most young political newcomers have to prepare for elections on their own or work with a small number of volunteers who are unfamiliar with election work, so the actual participation costs they bear are much higher." She added, "To support them, we developed BlueMate based on AI technology, equipping it with features such as key schedule and deadline management, an election law Q&A bot, and automated content creation based on main design layouts."

Assemblyman Mo Kyungjong, chair of the Youth Committee, further commented, "We launched this project to provide practical support for political newcomers who face disadvantages from the starting line."

Meanwhile, ahead of the June 3 Nationwide Simultaneous Local Elections, the political sphere is also seeing the adoption of AI technology. The Reform Party has previously announced the "AI Election Manager"—an AI system that plans campaign routes and helps design pledges at the central party level—and the "Shorts Auto-Generator," which creates real-time, unedited shorts videos.
