European Parliament calls for scrutiny of AI in EU democracy
See how this story connectsThe European Parliament adopted a resolution on the institutional aspects of AI in European integration by 405 votes to 133, with 60 abstentions. MEPs call for parliamentary scrutiny of AI’s effect on EU democratic processes, institutional balance and fundamental rights, and for a reform of European electoral law. The text proposes a budget-neutral European Parliament AI observatory to support committees in evaluating AI legislation.
Why it matters
AI use within the EU institutions must stay human-centred and under human oversight, MEPs say, and the proposed observatory would evaluate AI-related laws after adoption.
