Starting in January, a new service will allow users to check the feasibility of land development permits by asking questions in everyday language, without needing to sift through complex regulations.
On November 4, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport and the Ministry of Science and ICT announced the development and demonstration results of the 'AI-based Integrated Permit Pre-assessment Service' at the 18th K-Geo Festa.
This service utilizes AI to analyze laws and local government ordinances related to land development to provide preliminary assessments of permit eligibility.
For example, when users pose questions in simple terms rather than legal jargon, the AI interprets the intent and retrieves relevant regulations and permit requirements for analysis. The system has also integrated and coordinated multiple AI agent functions.
The first pilot areas will include Gyeyang District in Incheon, Eumseong County in Chungbuk, Asan City in Chungnam, and Gyeongsan and Yeongcheon Cities in Gyeongbuk. The Ministry of Land plans to begin service demonstrations and pilot operations in these regions starting in January.
Following the pilot, the ministry aims to verify the reliability of AI assessment results and expand the program to 18 local governments by June.
Subsequently, additional permit areas will be developed, and the system will be enhanced, with plans to launch mobile services and administrative tools for public officials by December.
This initiative is part of the government's 'Top 10 AI Livelihood Projects.' It was the only project selected from the Ministry of Land's proposals during a call for submissions by the Ministry of Science and ICT, with development commencing in April and completion expected by December.
During the K-Geo Festa (November 4-6), a promotional booth will be available where attendees can experience the AI Integrated Permit Pre-assessment Service and provide feedback on its usability and development requirements.
Lee Dae-seop, Director of Land Information Policy at the Ministry of Land, stated, “We will enhance the completeness and stability of the service through the pilot operation and ensure a smooth official launch.”
Hong Seong-wan, Director of Information and Communication Policy at the Ministry of Science, added, “We will work closely with relevant departments to accelerate the transition to AI in the public sector and provide AI services that are easy and convenient for all citizens.”
