Use cases and case studies for AI in parliaments

Use cases and case studies have been developed by parliaments for their own use and are shared here to help others to plan, develop and measure their AI implementation. A “use case” describes how a system should work, a “case study” is a description of how a real system or process has been implemented. 

Case studies draw on the experiences of parliaments and chambers who have implemented AI projects, offering a practical, first-hand view of their adoption of AI. Applications range from amendment-grouping and plain-language bill summarization to legacy-system modernization, facial-recognition access control and generative AI assistants for legislative research.

Use cases translate the abstract potential of AI into practical applications for parliamentary operations. They cover how to use AI tools to support the drafting of bills and amendments, to improve the production of verbatim reports or subtitles for video content, and to support public engagement, particularly the analysis of large volumes of public submissions, as well as cybersecurity AI tools that support the development of secure parliamentary systems.

The Use cases and Case studies are published by the IPU in partnership with the Parliamentary Data Science Hub in IPU’s Centre for Innovation in Parliament. They follow the adoption of a landmark resolution on The impact of artificial intelligence on democracy, human rights and the rule of law by the IPU Member Parliaments at the 149th IPU Assembly in Geneva in October 2024.
