Ezulwini: Happy Valley Hotel Conference Hall , 10 June, 2025
Members of Parliament demonstrated strong engagement and curiosity on the opening day of the Artificial Intelligence (AI) Governance Training Program, hosted by the Ministry of Information, Communications, and Technology at the Happy Valley Hotel. The inaugural session focused on raising awareness about AI and its far-reaching implications for governance and national development. Lively discussions followed a presentation on the practical applications of AI in parliamentary work, including drafting policy briefs, policy modeling, translation, and public engagement. MPs raised pressing questions about the influence of AI on elections, the authenticity of digital media, and the broader debate on whether AI is simply a tool—or a potential replacement for human roles.
