This article offers a critical analysis of the potential impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on the Italian legislative process, with the aim of evaluating its capacity to revitalise the legislative function of Parliament.
The inquiry unfolds along three key dimensions through which AI technologies may affect the constitutional architecture of legislative decision-making: (i) the organisation and systematisation of informational flows essential to law-making; (ii) assistance in the drafting of legislative proposals; and (iii) the facilitation of civic engagement within the legislative process.
The article contends that, if purged of its most critical shortcomings, structurally embedded within parliamentary administration, and employed as an auxiliary mechanism respectful of the prerogatives of elected representatives, AI may contribute to strengthening the constitutional role of Parliament in the legislative cycle. In doing so, it could serve – albeit partially – as a corrective to the progressive marginalisation of Parliament vis-à-vis the growing prominence of the executive.
