Jang Dong-hyuk, leader of the People Power Party, strongly criticized President Lee Jae-myung on October 22, stating, "The president is now begging for his life from artificial intelligence (AI)." This remark followed President Lee's claim the previous day on his X account, where he suggested that the attendance of heads of investigative agencies at the State Council meeting was justified, citing Google's AI service, Gemini.
During a Supreme Council meeting held at the National Assembly, Jang remarked, "Despite all media criticizing the attendance of investigative agency heads at the State Council, the president claimed, 'Gemini said it was an unconstitutional excuse,' and celebrated a mental victory." He added, "I also asked Gemini how the president's trial should proceed, and it naturally responded that the trial should be resumed. The answer the public wants is the resumption of the president's trial."
On the same day, Supreme Council member Kim Jae-won revealed a voice conversation he had with Gemini during the meeting. In response to Kim's question about the attendance of investigative agency heads at the State Council, Gemini stated, "The mere presence of investigative agency heads at a meeting of the highest authority is enough to raise concerns about the independence of investigations."
In response, Kim remarked, "Listening to Gemini, it seems like 'nonsense.' The president should immediately stop distorting absurd claims as truth by involving Gemini."
Meanwhile, Seong Gi-hong, senior presidential secretary for public relations, told reporters that the president's assertion of using Gemini's response as a basis for the attendance of investigative agency heads at the State Council is a distortion of facts. He clarified that the president only confirmed relevant provisions of the Constitution and the Government Organization Act through AI, without discovering any new logic or evidence.
