The Grenadaian government has announced that artificial intelligence (AI) tools will be introduced next year to help legislators. Speaker Leo Cato also said yesterday that legislators will be encouraged to make full use of the technology,

“I wish to inform this Parliament for the year 2025 we are encouraging the use of artificial intelligence among parliamentarians, and we will be procuring the tools that allow our parliamentarians to use artificial intelligence, and we will do some training with respect to AI,” Cato told Parliamentarians.

However, he did not elaborate on the type of AI initiative but disclosed that the use of technology for parliamentarians was among the outcomes of the 67th Commonwealth Parliamentary Conference (CPC) held in Australia earlier this month.

The second thing that he shared coming out of the conference was that “Parliament should continue to adapt and innovate to strengthen their governance system while ensuring their efforts, respect and engage with tradition and local context.

The theme of the conference was: ‘Engage, Empower, Sustain: Charting The Course For Resilient Democracy.’
