Bússola Tech is deeply honoured to present a virtual discussion on the insights and findings of its recently published book, developed in partnership with the Organization of American States (OAS), the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association (CPA), and the Legislative Assembly of Rio Grande do Norte (Brazil). The event will take place virtually on December 5th, 2024, at 10:00 AM (Brazil time, GMT-3).

This publication is the culmination of collaborative efforts among parliamentary staff, academics, and AI experts. It offers a comprehensive exploration of how Artificial Intelligence can enhance parliamentary services, addressing applications such as legislative drafting, procedural guidance, historical archiving, and citizen engagement. The book also features real-world case studies demonstrating successful implementations of AI in these areas.

Critical themes include the ethical deployment of AI, data integrity, and transparency, emphasizing the importance of aligning technological advancements with democratic values. The book also explores the complexities of integrating AI into parliamentary processes, highlighting the need for human oversight, inter-institutional collaboration, and robust training for parliamentary staff to maximize the benefits of AI.

Through careful and ethical implementation, the publication underscores how AI can empower parliaments to strengthen their services, enhance inclusivity, and foster greater public trust, contributing to democratic governance in the digital age.

The session also includes a special tribute to a colleague and his legacy after decades of services to the Congress of his country.
