Inter-Parliamentary Union Catalogs Global Parliamentary Actions on Artificial Intelligence Policy

Inter-Parliamentary Union says it has launched a new online portal that maps AI‑related legislative activity across its 179 member parliaments, listing bills, hearings and oversight committees introduced since 2020. The portal provides downloadable PDFs and searchable filters by policy area such as data privacy, algorithmic bias, and autonomous systems.

Member Parliaments in Europe, Asia and Africa have submitted over 120 distinct AI policy proposals to the IPU database, ranging from mandatory impact assessments for high‑risk systems to public funding for AI research ethics boards.

AI Policy Proposals include a recommendation that at least 30 percent of national AI budgets be allocated to transparency tools, and a call for cross‑border cooperation on standards for facial‑recognition deployment in public spaces.

Regulatory Impact analysis by the IPU estimates that coordinated parliamentary action could reduce AI‑related legal disputes by up to 15 percent within five years, while improving public trust scores in surveyed citizens by roughly eight points.
