The European Parliament has a problem with AI, and its answer is more AI. Lawmakers keep using public chatbots to help write legislation. So the institution is building a sanctioned platform to bring that habit under control.
The internal tool, called EPGenAI Hub, will give MEPs and staff access to models from Meta, OpenAI, Anthropic and France’s Mistral. The Parliament is testing it now and could begin the rollout as early as September, Politico reported.
Why now
AI has quietly seeped into the daily work of the Parliament. About 2,100 people, roughly 20% of staff, use it every day. The worry is what that is doing to the law.
At a meeting this month, several committee chairs raised the alarm that MEPs and assistants were leaning on AI to draft amendments and other legislative work. The tells are hard to miss: a surge in amendments needing translation, recognisable drafting styles, and the odd hallucinated reference to a law that does not exist.
