New Japanese Political Party to Install AI Leader
The Path to Rebirth party plans to use AI to manage resource distribution after losing all seats in recent Tokyo elections, aiming to revitalize its political strategy.
- On September 16, 2025, Japan's Path to Rebirth party announced that an artificial intelligence would assume the role of its new leader following the departure of its human founder.
- The party decided this after its founder, Shinji Ishimaru, quit following poor results in the June Tokyo assembly and July upper house elections.
- Koki Okumura, a doctoral AI student who recently won the party contest to succeed Ishimaru, described himself as assistant to the new AI leader.
- Okumura stated that the new leadership would be an AI, which would steer clear of controlling members' political actions and instead concentrate on managing how resources are allocated among party members.
- The party has struggled to win seats, with all 42 candidates losing in June and all 10 in the July upper house election, and details about the AI implementation remain undecided.
