Prime Minister Kristen Michal says that artificial intelligence would help avoid mistakes in laws. For example, a mistake was recently found in the gambling tax law. This mistake went unnoticed by everyone.
Michal wrote on social media that if we learn from mistakes, we would be better. He praised the work of Luukas Kristjan Ilves. Ilves created a tool that finds mistakes in laws.
Ilves criticized the mistake in the gambling tax law. He said that the use of artificial intelligence in law drafting should be mandatory. Ilves tested two artificial intelligence platforms. Both found the mistake in the law immediately.
Ilves introduced his tool called "Mistake Finder". This tool analyzes parliamentary laws and finds mistakes. For example, inconsistent terms or faulty references. Ilves said that the tool is still under development.
Ilves asked the public what else should be added to the tool. He also suggested that someone could lead the project.
Minister of Justice and Digital Affairs Liisa Pakosta also talked about the use of artificial intelligence. She said that members of parliament should use it to check laws.
Barrister Allar Jõks said that artificial intelligence could be helpful. But he warned that artificial intelligence should not replace members of parliament. Jõks asked if the parliament should be so large.
