LS Speaker Birla flags ethical AI, accountable Social Media as key to safeguarding democracy at 28th CSPOC

New Delhi, Jan 15 (UNI) Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla on Thursday set the tone for global parliamentary deliberations by calling for ethical use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and credible, transparent and accountable social media frameworks to protect democratic values, as he delivered the welcome address at the inaugural session of the 28th Conference of Speakers and Presiding Officers of the Commonwealth (CSPOC) in New Delhi.
Addressing the gathering at the iconic Central Hall of Samvidhan Sadan after Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the conference, Birla said rapid technological transformations were reshaping governance worldwide. While AI and social media have enhanced the efficiency and effectiveness of democratic institutions, their misuse has also created serious challenges.
“Misinformation, cybercrime and social polarisation pose real threats to democratic discourse. Addressing these concerns is a shared responsibility of legislatures across the world,” he said.
