Das Zeitalter der Künstlichen Intelligenz als Herausforderung für die Parlamente
The digital transformation is permanently changing the government, administration, and society . This process is being intensified by the much-discussed technologies of artificial intelligence, and poses a variety of challenges for parliaments and indirectly for parliamentary studies . Their different dimensions have not been discussed comprehensively so far, although the technological developments affect all parliamentary functions and their premises . This article systematizes and structures the various effects of the age of artificial intelligence on parliamentary democracy . Namely, the conditions of democratic representation change, the innovation-friendly regulation of digital technologies becomes a parliamentary task, parliamentary control has to be adjusted to the use of algorithms and artificial intelligence in government and administration, and possibly, the epistemological and organizational structures of parliamentary work might have to be adapted . This provides starting points for future detailed analyses to adequately capture these processes of change and to accompany them from different disciplinary perspectives .
