Lok Sabha Embraces AI and Digital Tools for Futuristic Parliamentary Operations
July 14, 2025
Starting from the first day of the Monsoon Session, a digital attendance system using Multimedia Devices (MMDs) has been introduced, allowing Members of Parliament to mark their attendance electronically, streamlining the process.
The Lok Sabha Secretariat has adopted AI-based translation and transcription tools, including the 'Sansad Bhashini' system launched in March 2025, to enhance transparency and provide real-time access to debates in multiple languages.
The Lok Sabha has launched a series of digital and AI-driven initiatives to modernize parliamentary operations, guided by Speaker Om Birla, with the goal of enhancing transparency, inclusivity, and accessibility.
These initiatives include modernizing and digitizing parliamentary functioning through the implementation of new technology, making proceedings more efficient and transparent.
The new MMD-based attendance system aims to save time, reduce procedural redundancies, and improve the overall efficiency of legislative proceedings.
These technological efforts are part of a broader vision to improve engagement between elected representatives and citizens, bridging the gap through innovative governance.
These digital initiatives reflect Speaker Om Birla's vision for integrating technology into governance, which was emphasized during the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding with the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology in March 2025.
AI-powered tools are now used to publish daily parliamentary business and agenda papers in 12 languages, accessible in real-time via the Digital Sansad portal, promoting linguistic inclusivity and public engagement.
Dedicated multimedia conferencing devices have been installed at every seat in the Lok Sabha Chamber, fostering a digitally empowered working environment.
