The role of Artificial Intelligence in Open Parliament: enhancing transparency, critical thinking, and combating disinformation

Abstract

IFLAPARL 2024 Annual Conference (Madrid, 17-18 October), Day Two, Fifth session: AI round table discussion. Artificial intelligence enhances parliamentary research and documentation by enabling automated cataloguing and advanced data analysis. Integrated within Open Parliament principles, AI improves transparency, combats disinformation, and fosters critical thinking. By organizing vast data efficiently, it aids comprehension, deepens analysis, and strengthens accessibility, ensuring reliable information and effective communication through specialized tools like chatbots (slides presentation).
