A few Thoughts on the Use of ChatGPT, GPT 3.5, GPT-4 and LLMs in Parliaments: Reflecting on the results of experimenting with LLMs in the parliamentarian context
Starting in November 2022 with the free provision of ChatGPT, large language models (LLM) are now publicly available. This has significantly increased the number of publications which scopes potential changes caused by the application of generative artificial intelligence (AI) in various societal domains. The private use of AI and the economic integration of generative LLMs have increased significantly. However, for parliamentarians and parliamentary professionals, the technology often remains abstract, impacting everyday work only peripherally. Due to the special responsibility of parliaments, governments, and administrations as the organizational instances of society, and through the inherent legitimations by society itself, there is a necessity to examine the implications of the use of generative LLMs within these institutions and traditional structures as well as their influence on political system logic. The paper analyzes the responses that the generative LLMs GPT 3.5 and GPT 4 have provided via ChatGPT, based on the same input command (prompt) over different times. The responses help to assess how LLMs can be used in the parliamentary context, to reflect what dangers exist as well as to respond to the question on how a business model of an AI department in parliament might look like. Furthermore, it shall be explored whether there are fluctuations in the quality of the responses and how these should be evaluated against the backdrop of the need for accurate and precise workflows in parliamentary operations. Ultimately, the paper aims to provide an answer as to whether the application of ChatGPT together with the LLMs GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 could already deliver this necessary quality and consistency for the parliamentarian working environment today.Mit der kostenlosen Bereitstellung von ChatGPT im November 2022 sind große Sprachmodelle (LLM) nun öffentlich zugänglich. Dies hat die Zahl der Veröffentlichungen, die mögliche Veränderungen durch die Anwendung generativer künstlicher Intelligenz (KI) in verschiedenen gesellschaftlichen Bereichen aufzeigen, deutlich erhöht. Die private Nutzung von KI und die wirtschaftliche Integration von generativen LLMs haben deutlich zugenommen. Für Parlamentarier und parlamentarische Fachleute bleibt die Technologie jedoch oft abstrakt und hat nur am Rande Einfluss auf die tägliche Arbeit. Aufgrund der besonderen Verantwortung von Parlamenten, Regierungen und Verwaltungen als Organisationsinstanzen der Gesellschaft und durch die inhärenten Legitimationen durch die Gesellschaft selbst, besteht die Notwendigkeit, die Implikationen des Einsatzes generativer LLMs innerhalb dieser Institutionen und traditionellen Strukturen sowie deren Einfluss auf die politische Systemlogik zu untersuchen. Der Beitrag analysiert die Antworten, die die generativen LLMs GPT 3.5 und GPT 4 über ChatGPT auf denselben Eingabebefehl (Prompt) zu unterschiedlichen Zeiten gegeben haben. Die Antworten helfen zu beurteilen, wie LLMs im parlamentarischen Kontext verwendet werden können, um zu reflektieren, welche Gefahren bestehen, sowie die Frage zu beantworten, wie ein Geschäftsmodell einer KI-Abteilung im Parlament aussehen könnte. Darüber hinaus soll untersucht werden, ob es Schwankungen in der Qualität der Antworten gibt und wie diese vor dem Hintergrund der Notwendigkeit einer genauen und präzisen Beantwortung zu bewerten sind

Talking the talk or walking the walk? Citizen perceptions of local administrative crisis management
In crises and disasters, how citizens evaluate state action dominates the media and public discourse. However, the process of political attitude formation remains a black box. In particular, we do not know to what extent citizen perceptions form as a consequence of their crisis affectedness or because of the state’s actions in crisis management. In addressing this gap, the paper examines local level administrative crisis management in the Covid-19 crisis in Germany, asking about the differential impact of crisis communication (talk) versus actual performance (walk). Using a unique combination of data from a citizen survey and a public administration survey in 19 corresponding districts, and applying multilevel analysis, we find that administrative action explains 8.2 percent of the total variation in perceptions, as compared to individuals’ crisis affectedness. Only local agencies’ crisis communication shows a significant effect, but not their organizational performance. Theoretically, whereas most studies focus on individual level attitudes when explaining citizen perceptions of crisis management, this study shows how administrative action can make a difference
