The presentation about AI and Parliament will focus on the integration of artificial intelligence in parliamentary services, highlighting current projects and future goals. Presently, a pilot project is being developed for real-time transcription, which aims to enhance accessibility during parliamentary sessions.
Looking ahead, the Parliament is exploring the use of a Chatbot to assist with research, improving the efficiency of information retrieval. In the future, AI will also play a significant role in indexing parliamentary objects, press articles, and literature, helping to streamline document management and improve searchability.
The presentation will give an insight into the current and future projects focused on the integration of AI in parliamentary services. It will highlight AI's role as a co-pilot, emphasizing that humans remain central to all processes. The presentation will detail the upcoming launch of a pilot chatbot which will support parliamentary research by providing thematic documentation using resources like Parlament.ch, ParlData, and Fedlex. The Proof of Concept (PoC) will be tested, along with a pilot project for the semi-automated indexing of press articles and parliamentary interventions.
The presentation will conclude by emphasizing the transformative potential of AI in enhancing parliamentary processes while maintaining a human-centered, transparent, and secure approach to its development and application.
