Online parliamentary allowances data assistant
Chile - Chamber of Deputies
Use case ID: 056
Author: Chamber of Deputies of Chile
Date: 20 August 2024
Objective:
Know specific information about consumption, available funds or total allocations in parliamentary allowances management systems, thus affecting enquiry speed and eliminating the first line of query to parliamentary assistants. This use case describes part of a suite of AI-based products. The CAMINAR platform supports legislative work with the help of AI. It emerged as an innovative response to the challenges faced by the National Congress of Chile during the COVID-19 pandemic and owing to the country’s political situation. The project seeks to leverage the digital strengths of the Chamber of Deputies by utilizing its regulatory repository and parliamentary databases.
Actors:
- Parliamentarians: to understand the amount of parliamentary allowances that are available
- Officials: to access an efficient and intuitive tool to support the regulation of public fund usage
Prerequisites:
- Database
- Vectorized regulations documentation
- Documented or officiated parameters indicating maximum or base amounts
- Appropriate prompt
- System to integrate the tool into its production phase
Scenario:
- Both parliamentarians and officials interact with AI in their daily virtual work environment, such as in ERPs and automated information generation systems (e.g. emails or mailboxes). The assistant provides specific information in response to a question posed in natural language by the user.
Expected results:
- A first line of solutions is created for doubts and frequently asked questions, freeing up time that would otherwise be spent on repetitive work.
- The GenAI concept is integrated into the daily work of officials as a tool rather than a replacement.
Potential challenges:
- Resistance to change among officials
- Bias and misuse
- Data integrity
- Storage and analysis of feedback
- Validation and sustainability of the technology
- Need for human validation at all times
Data requirements:
- Vectorized regulations
- Updated database for assistant consumption
- Framework documentation (e.g. Labour Code)
- LLM’s own knowledge
Integrations with other systems:
- Parliamentary allowances management system (ASIGPAR)
- Parliamentary service system (PORTAL)
Success metrics:
- Accuracy of the response, when correctness can be determined
- Speed of the response, related to the requirements of repetitive tasks
- Impact on post-implementation operational performance variables
