AI-Powered Election Scope Enhances Voter Transparency with 245 Candidates Analyzed

Unveiling the 'Election 10-Year Scope': Enhancing Political Transparency with AI

On July 9, 2025, Automate Corporation (headquartered in Chuo-ku, Tokyo), led by CEO Yusuke Takagi, announced the enhancement of their groundbreaking AI political activity visualization service, the 'Election 10-Year Scope' (https://10yes.jp/). After launching on June 26, this innovative platform has now added 39 influential candidates, resulting in a comprehensive analysis of a total of 245 political figures in Japan.

Japanese Electoral Reality: Voters Who Don’t Know the Candidates

During election periods, voters are often inundated with televised party leader debates where manifestos are discussed, and only high-profile candidates receive significant media coverage. This raises a critical question: what have the candidates from your electoral district actually accomplished?

Only a select few prominent politicians gain media exposure, while the hard work of diligent representatives often goes unnoticed. All that is typically heard from campaign vehicles are chants of names, with the individual contributions to policies overshadowed by party identities. Remarkably, no businesses would hire employees without reviewing their resumes. Yet, why do we, as voters, often cast our ballots for representatives without knowing their past achievements? This question was the catalyst for creating the 'Election 10-Year Scope.'

The core intent of this service is to remind voters that they are not just selecting political parties but rather individuals who will act as our representatives in parliament. By understanding these individuals' histories, we can reevaluate the significance of our electoral choices.

An Innovative Service: Comprehensive Reports in Just Days

What sets the 'Election 10-Year Scope' apart is its ability to generate in-depth analysis reports encompassing a staggering 700,000 words for 245 candidates from just two team members in a mere seven days of work. This service represents an unprecedented scale and accuracy in the realm of Japanese political information.

Features of Development and Operation

- AI-Driven Analysis: Everything from content creation to research is conducted using AI.
- Objective Evaluations: The platform eliminates human biases, relying solely on AI analysis for impartial assessments.
- Thorough Fact-Checking: Each candidate's results are supported by a fact-check report, ensuring accuracy and reliability.

Core Philosophy and Social Impact

The 'Election 10-Year Scope' operates under the guiding principle of ending the era of uninformed voting. Key issues addressed by the service include:

- Examining the widespread trend where voters cast ballots without knowledge of candidates' actual activities.
- Highlighting the insufficiency of limited information available during election periods to capture candidates’ long-term contributions.
- Questioning why citizens accept representatives without examining their qualifications, something they would never do in the hiring process for a job.

To address these challenges, the service leverages a plethora of public data including parliamentary records, official SNS accounts, and news articles to visualize candidates' activities over the past decade—all offered as a free service.

Newly Added Candidates and Broader Perspectives

With the latest update, the platform now features additional candidates from various backgrounds, including former assembly members and other influential public figures, broadening the scope for comparative analysis.

Candidates Added (in alphabetical order):

- Hiroko Akaishi, Noboru Akamine, Shogo Uemoto, Yasushi Adachi, Megumi Ishii, and many more.

Comprehensive AI Analysis

The service provides multi-faceted analyses of each candidate, covering:
1. Current Legislators: Quantified assessments of parliamentary speaking frequency, attendance rates, and legislative achievements.
2. Former Legislators: Detailed records of past activities and policy performance.
3. Public Figures: Analysis of their stance on political and social issues, alongside their influence on social media and media engagements.

Commitment to Quality Assurance

To ensure the utmost accuracy, each of the 245 reports undergoes a dedicated fact-checking process to verify the information generated by the AI. This includes errors being disclosed publicly to uphold transparency and trustworthiness.

Technological Innovations

Utilizing advanced natural language processing and machine learning, the service can analyze and summarize vast amounts of data, covering a decade’s worth of information systematically.

Future Developments

Plans for continuous operation and periodic updates to the database include:

- The ongoing addition of candidates and features based on user feedback.
- Development considerations for a version tailored to the House of Representatives.
- Exploring possibilities for providing open data for public access.

Representative Commentary

Yusuke Takagi, CEO of Automate Corporation, remarked, "This service stemmed from a profound concern regarding the current election environment. The limitations imposed by traditional media often lead to an incomplete understanding of political candidates.
In an era driven by AI, what’s essential is the availability of accurate information. Our goal is to provide a wealth of data, allowing voters to distill summaries as needed using AI tools. The capability of analyzing 245 candidates with just two team members is a testament to the power of AI, and we are eager to extend beyond existing media’s limitations to offer comprehensive insights into the political landscape."
