Namyangju City Introduces 'Municipal Ordinance Chatbot'

[Suwon Ilbo=Um In-yong Reporter] Namyangju City announced on the 16th that it has begun operating a generative AI-based 'Namyangju Municipal Ordinance Chatbot' starting this month to support all staff in municipal ordinance work.

This project was launched to reduce the administrative burden on municipal practitioners in the process of enacting and amending municipal ordinances, and to strengthen administrative capacity through more rapid and accurate drafting support.

The 'Namyangju Municipal Ordinance Chatbot' is based on generative AI technology and learns from the Ministry of Government Legislation's drafting guidelines, precedents, sentence refinement standards, and interpretive materials by issue. It performs various functions needed in practice, including △clause drafting △sentence review △legislative precedent provision, and in particular provides interactive services to enable the structuring of municipal ordinance drafts centered on administrative general fields such as public property, subsidies, and committees.

Lee Bong-gyu, Head of Council Legal Affairs Division, stated, "Previously, we had to find Ministry of Government Legislation guidelines and precedents one by one, but with the chatbot, we can directly access necessary information, making drafting work much easier," adding, "We expect it will serve as a reliable guide for staff with limited drafting experience."
