Birla
Using AI to bring Parliament to people
Extract from the
Article:
Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla is leveraging Artificial Intelligence (AI) to
bridge the gap between Parliament and the people. By utilizing AI technology,
Speaker Birla aims to enhance the accessibility and engagement of the
Parliament with citizens.
The initiative includes real-time translation of parliamentary proceedings
into multiple languages, providing interactive features for the public to
engage with parliamentary activities, and exploring the use of AI for better
searchability and indexing of parliamentary content.
Additionally, an interactive mobile application is in the pipeline, offering
MPs access to essential parliamentary information and ensuring secure remote
voting capabilities.
My Take:
"In my previous blog, I had suggested the idea of utilizing technology
to widen the reach of political figures. Prime Minister Narendra Modi's
adoption of AI for real-time translation during a speech is a step towards
enhancing communication with diverse linguistic audiences.
This aligns with the current efforts by Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla to bring
Parliament closer to the people through AI-driven initiatives."
Virtual
Legislatures: Not Quite There
"The proposal to incentivize legislators for remote participation in
parliamentary sessions, as mentioned in my blog, resonates with the evolving
dynamics of remote work and virtual legislatures.
Speaker Birla's push for a Smart Parliament aligns with the concept of Work
From Home (WFH) for lawmakers, showcasing a progressive approach towards
transforming traditional parliamentary practices."
"The development of an interactive mobile application for MPs, enabling
seamless access to parliamentary documents and features, reflects the ongoing
digital transformation within legislative bodies.
Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla's vision for incorporating interactive elements
like quizzes and birthday wishes in the application signifies a proactive step
towards engaging citizens in parliamentary affairs through innovative digital
platforms."
Call to Action:
To Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla and policymakers involved in leveraging AI for
parliamentary enhancements: Continue to prioritize inclusivity, transparency,
and user engagement in the development of digital platforms for parliamentary
proceedings.
Embrace feedback from citizens and lawmakers to ensure that technological
advancements truly bring Parliament closer to the people.
