Abstract:

This article examines the application of artificial intelligence (AI) in parliamentary activities in the context of the digitalization of public authorities, with a focus on legislative procedures, parliamentary control, and interaction with citizens within the framework of e-parliamentarianism. The study employs analysis and synthesis of scientific literature, the comparative legal method, and normative analysis of legal acts of the European Union, the Council of Europe, and recommendations of interparliamentary organizations. Institutional and functional analysis is used to systematize the main areas of AI application in parliamentary practice. The research identifies key areas of AI use, including the preparation and analysis of draft legislation, support for parliamentary oversight, analytical assistance to parliamentary work, and enhancement of institutional transparency. At the same time, significant risks are highlighted, such as insufficient algorithmic transparency, threats to personal data protection, institutional imbalance, and excessive automation of decision-making processes. AI should function exclusively as a supporting tool in parliamentary activities, with human involvement preserved at all stages of decision-making. Effective implementation requires clear regulatory frameworks, compliance with international standards, and a human-centered approach. Gradual and controlled integration of algorithmic tools is recommended to improve the quality of parliamentary procedures while maintaining democratic legitimacy.
