  • LegisTech: Artificial Intelligence in Parliaments

    Washington/ DC - USA, 2024

    Bússola Tech, in collaboration with the Organization of American States (OAS), is honoured to present the LegisTech: Artificial Intelligence in Parliaments conference. This esteemed event is set to convene on October 10th and 11th, 2024, at the prestigious OAS Headquarters in Washington, DC and the U.S. House of Representatives. This event aims to further the dialogue on legislative modernisation and digital transformation across Parliaments.

     

     

    The forthcoming edition will focus on the important theme of "The Potential of Artificial Intelligence in Parliaments," reflecting the growing importance of AI in legislative operations. The agenda is meticulously designed to facilitate in-depth discussions across various facets of AI application within legislative environments, including but not limited to, the usage of Generative Artificial Intelligence in Parliamentary activities, Cybersecurity considerations, the Digital Agenda in Parliaments, as well as considerations about Users-Satisfaction.

     

     

    Structured to foster a collaborative and insightful exchange, the conference will feature opening remarks by distinguished leaders, followed by a series of presentations from delegations on their experiences and strategies in harnessing AI for parliamentary advancement.

     

     

    Furthermore, the event will address crucial topics such as long-term financial planning for emerging technologies and it will discuss a recent publication of the Bússola Tech and the OAS about Artificial Intelligence in Parliaments, underscoring the importance of Parliaments taking this discussion proactively.

     

     

    LegisTech: Artificial Intelligence in Parliaments is commitment of Bússola Tech and the OAS to propel legislative modernisation through the strategic application of digital technologies. It invites Parliaments from across the region to partake in a journey of discovery, innovation, and dialogue, in a future where technology and governance converge towards a more efficient, transparent, and inclusive legislative process.
