The recently released paper Legislatures and Legislation in the Age of Artificial Intelligence by Ittai Bar-Siman-Tov (November 2025) offers a timely and rigorous investigation into how the rise of AI is reshaping the contours of legislative processes. It analyses the increasing parliamentary scrutiny of AI regulation, and carefully distinguishes between instances where traditional statutory law remains the appropriate instrument and others where alternative regulatory tools may be more effective.
Beyond its theoretical framing, the paper delves into concrete institutional challenges: how AI might be embedded within parliaments themselves, from bill drafting and amendment procedures to internal legislative workflows, and proposes a set of guiding principles for its responsible adoption. For those concerned with maintaining democratic legitimacy and legislative quality in an era of rapid technological change, this work provides an indispensable foundation for further reflection.
