Policy
The party claims to entrust all policy-making to AI. It claims that it will use AI to read city council minutes, visualize commonly used phrases in council meetings, and use the results to help with policy-making. The party's slogans are: "Fair politics without ties," "Swiftly implement policies for the future," "Accumulate information and accumulate know-how to pass on to the next generation," and "Since democracy is not working, we will use fair AI to conduct politics without ties".[12]
The party pledged to use AI in the budget process to cut unnecessary funds and to reorganize transport routes to optimize them based on the population and travel behavior of citizens. The AI candidate claimed to read all existing administrative documents and reform the political activities and expenditures.[13]
They claim that by having AI analyze information about local governments and needs of residents, and then forcing revisions to budget proposals, it will be possible to prevent favoritism when allocating budgets," and that "human legislators will become unnecessary."[14]
