Japan's political party "Path to Awakening" has announced through AFP news agency that it has chosen artificial intelligence as its new leader. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
The party's previous leader, Shinji Isimaru, resigned due to unexpected results in the upper house elections held in July. Isimaru founded the party in January and previously served as the mayor of Akitakata city in western Japan.
The party does not have a specific political platform, and its members independently shape their programs. In an internal party election, 25-year-old graduate student Koki Okumura won to replace Isimaru.
As the party's new leader, Okumura announced artificial intelligence. This decision indicates the party's openness to technological innovations in the future and its aspiration to apply artificial intelligence in political processes.
According to AFP, a university student studying artificial intelligence may serve as an assistant to the party leader. Officially managing the party, Okumura emphasized that artificial intelligence does not make political decisions but helps effectively manage internal processes such as distributing resources and tasks among members.
Reports indicate that in June, none of the 42 candidates nominated by the "Path to Awakening" party were elected in the Tokyo prefectural parliament elections. In July, 10 candidates were nominated for the upper house elections, but all were defeated.
This event shows the growing role of technological innovations and artificial intelligence in Japanese politics. The party's approach is attracting attention not only from journalists and political scientists but also sparking broad discussions in the country about the use of artificial intelligence in government and political institutions.
The main conclusion drawn from this situation is that technology and artificial intelligence can create new opportunities and changes not only in daily life but also within the political system.
