LAUNCH OF THE IPU GUIDELINES FOR AI IN PARLIAMENTS

Artificial intelligence (AI) presents significant opportunities for parliaments to enhance their operations, to become more efficient and effective, better serving citizens. However, adopting AI introduces new challenges and it presents risks that must be carefully managed.

The IPU Guidelines for AI in parliaments offer strategic advice and practical insights to help legislative bodies harness the power of AI responsibly and effectively. By adopting a well thought through, strategic approach to AI, parliaments can harness the technology’s full potential to drive innovation and efficiency in the legislative process.

The guidelines are the result of a collaborative effort by parliaments in the Parliamentary Data Science Hub in IPU’s Centre for Innovation in Parliament. They are complemented by a set of use cases that describe the role that parliaments see for AI in supporting specific parliamentary actions.

The session will be held twice in order to enable participants in different time zones to attend. Participants can indicate in the registration form which session they wish to join. This webinar is part of the Transforming Parliaments webinar series organized by IPU’s Centre for Innovation in Parliament.
