Gathering Held on Artificial Intelligence in Parliamentary Work
Today, ParlAmericas, in collaboration with the Chamber of Deputies of Argentina and the National Democratic Institute organized a “Gathering on Artificial Intelligence, Parliamentary Agenda, and Transparency.”
The gathering was organized in the framework of commitments under the second Open Parliament Action Plan of Argentina’s Chamber of Deputies, and brought together Argentine parliamentarians, parliamentary staff, and representatives from civil society organizations. During the working sessions, participants analyzed the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in the legislative sphere and shared international good practices on the subject.
ParlAmericas was represented by Member of the Chamber of Deputies Margarita Stolbizer (Argentina), First Vice-President for South America of the ParlAmericas Parliamentary Network on Climate Change and Sustainability, and Luis Rojas (Chile), Deputy Secretary General of the Chamber of Deputies and General Coordinator of the ParlAmericas Parliamentary Staff Network on Open Parliament.
In her remarks, Member of the Chamber of Deputies Stolbizer emphasized the importance of ensuring that AI tools implemented in parliament take gender biases into account to prevent the perpetuation of historical inequalities and discrimination that could distort decision-making in legislative work. Meanwhile, Luis Rojas highlighted the crucial role of AI in enhancing citizen participation mechanisms and fostering a more inclusive, representative, and informed dialogue with the public.
The gathering concluded with a consensus on the need to further strengthen the regulatory frameworks and technical capacities of the Chamber of Deputies of Argentina to fully harness the transformative potential of AI, ensuring more efficient and transparent parliamentary work.
