The Korea Local Information Research & Development Institute said on the 19th that it had published an AI services guide to support local governments’ AI transformation (AX) and distributed it nationwide. The guide is designed to address fragmented, individual efforts to adopt AI and help local governments pursue AX in line with government policies, including 123 national tasks and the “Korea Artificial Intelligence Action Plan.” It offers practical guidance for selecting, adapting, or combining services to fit local conditions and budgets.

The guide presents AI services across five public-sector areas: administration and civil affairs, disaster and safety, regional industry, closing social gaps, and transport and environment. Administration services include 24-hour AI civil-service consultations and AI work assistants. Disaster and safety examples include advance prediction of wildfires and flooding, plus real-time analysis of 119 emergency-call audio. Regional industry services include federated learning for manufacturing and smart agriculture, livestock, and fisheries. For closing social gaps, it lists proactive identification of households in crisis and AI assistants for small businesses; transport and environment examples include intelligent traffic-signal control and AI recycling-sorting robots.

The guide also outlines support to reduce legal and regulatory burdens during adoption. The institute plans to distribute model AI and data ordinances, provide tailored consulting based on assessments of each local government’s capabilities, and run a standardization and distribution program to spread validated AI solutions nationwide. Institute President Woo Jeong-min said that as national AI policy gathers pace, local governments need to move beyond adopting individual services and pursue AX systematically.

Woo said the institute plans to use the guide to help local governments develop basic plans for intelligent information services and offer on-site consulting to those seeking to adopt AI services. The guidebook is available in the Digital Policy Materials section of the Knowledge Hub on the institute’s website.
