The Democratic Party has launched an Innovation Task Force (TF) for its think tank, the Democratic Research Institute, aiming to enhance its independent role and utilize artificial intelligence (AI) technology to develop strategies for a winning party.
On the afternoon of August 25, the Democratic Party held its first meeting for the Innovation TF at the National Assembly, marking the beginning of efforts to evolve the Democratic Research Institute into a strategic hub for the ruling party.
Kang Deuk-gu, the head of the TF, stated, "The Democratic Research Institute has played a crucial role as a think tank, formulating the party's mid- to long-term policies and strategies and designing its vision." He emphasized the need to develop the institute to fulfill its role as the strategic headquarters of the ruling party.
To achieve this, Kang outlined plans to innovate the Democratic Research Institute by focusing on its unique role, leading the party's mid- to long-term strategies and policies, enhancing research and analysis capabilities using AI technology, and strengthening local governance for successful decentralization.
TF members, including lawmakers Ahn Tae-jun and Park Hee-seung, expressed their commitment to redesigning the party's policy production system and election strategies, with Ahn stating, "We will do our best from this starting point," and Park adding, "I will contribute to transforming it into a living think tank."
Notably, Kim Yong, a prominent figure aligned with Lee Jae-myung and a candidate for the Supreme Council in the August 17 party convention, is also part of the TF. Kim remarked, "I will reflect the voices of the party, local governments, and ordinary members."
Furthermore, the TF plans to officially commence its activities with a report from the Democratic Research Institute on August 27.
After the meeting, Kang told reporters, "We aim to derive specific directions during the official report this Thursday, and we will strive to innovate the Democratic Research Institute in line with its original purpose."
