Generative AI startup 42Maru took the podium on Tuesday at the “Good Morning Wednesday Special Lecture” held in the main auditorium of Gumi City Hall, presenting a vision of the future of intelligent local administration based on agentic AI to key city officials of Gumi, led by Mayor Kim Jang-ho (김장호).

At the lecture, 42Maru Chief Executive Officer Dong-hwan Kim (김동환) spoke on “Local administration innovation through Agentic AI.” He assessed the current state of public-sector AX in South Korea and shared directions that could be applied immediately to Gumi’s administration. About 150 executives, civil servants and staff attended the weekly programme, including Gumi Mayor Kim Jang-ho and Vice Mayor Sung-hyun Jung (정성현).

Kim stressed that “Agentic AI,” which judges situations on its own and autonomously carries out complex tasks, will become a basic competency for local administration, going beyond the current level of “public AI” that simply performs question-and-answer through chatbots.

He also shared public-sector and administrative AX cases, including the Ministry of the Interior and Safety’s “pan-government AI common foundation” and Busan City’s “Busan-style AI assistant convergence service.” He presented practical changes agentic AI could bring to local administration, such as tailored, intelligent complaint handling for residents, data-based proactive policy planning and autonomous execution of complex administrative work.
