The Legislative Yuan uses AI to read out articles for the first time. It is estimated that it will only take 66 minutes to read at 2x speed.

The Legislative Yuan Health and Environment Committee reviewed the "Draft of the Dementia Basic Law" today (11th), and members of the ruling and opposition parties proposed a total of 15 revised versions of the law. In order to speed up the reading time of the bill one by one, the Legislative Yuan introduced AI technology, "the first time AI was used to read out the provisions." If it is read at normal speed, it will take more than two hours, but if it is read at 2x speed, it only takes 66 minutes, saving a lot of time and manpower.

Kuomintang legislator Chen Jinghui, who is also a convener of the Sanitation and Environmental Protection Committee, pointed out, "Today is the first time that the Legislative Yuan has used AI to read out provisions." In the past, when she was ill and lost her voice, blue committee member Ge Rujun instructed her to use AI to conduct general inquiries. After discovering this, Hanguo-yu suggested that AI be introduced into future Legislative Yuan meetings or committees. Later, an "artificial intelligence promotion working group" was established to implement the introduction of AI technology.

Chen Jinghui said that in response to the advancement of the times under the wave of AI digital information, and after repeated verification by the Information Office of the Legislative Yuan, digital technology will be used to conduct the first AI reading in the Legislative Yuan today. If you want to read all the laws, at normal speaking speed, it will take about 131 minutes; 1.5 times speed is 87 minutes; 1.75 times speed is 75 minutes; 2 times speed is 66 minutes. I hope other committees can refer to it in the future.
