The article discusses the democratic potential of the adoption of AI technologies that overcomes the intrinsic challenges in the present-day representative democracy. As one of the pioneering works pondering on the possibilities of AI parties and AI agents in the Korean political landscape, the article provides theoretical frameworks of delegation and AI agents in augmented reality. Drawn on the theoretical understanding, the article proposes a future of democracy in coexistence with AI agents and humans in AI political parties, and examines current institutional hurdles towards the vision. AI agents and AI political parties can streamline democratic processes and invite more citizens, who are marginalised in traditional representative democracy, to political decision-making process. The article contributes to achieving better democracy by discussing the possibilities and the risks of doing politics with AI.
