Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla says AI can improve parliamentary workflows and citizen participation, provided its use is guided by ethics, transparency and accountability. One concrete example is already in place: India’s Parliament uses AI to translate Sansad TV speeches into multiple Indian languages and to translate parliamentary papers.
Why it mattersBirla made the remarks at the BRICS Parliamentary Forum, whose joint declaration also recognised AI’s potential and called for safe, secure and equitable use of digital technologies, The Hindu reports. The promise is practical: translation can make parliamentary proceedings more accessible across languages. But good intentions are not a substitute for clear rules on how these systems are used.
Discuss: Should public institutions adopt AI translation quickly to widen access, or wait for stronger transparency and accountability safeguards?
