Chad constitutional council adopts AI tools

Agents trained on artificial intelligence applications for administrative and legal work.

The Constitutional Council of Chad has adopted artificial intelligence tools following a five-day training session held from November 3 to November 7, 2026. Agents from various departments participated in the training at the Kempinski Hotel, learning about AI's potential, practical uses, and necessary precautions for implementation in a legal and institutional setting.

Organized with support from the European Union's PAPPE project, the training aimed to enhance staff skills and promote responsible technology use, respecting law, confidentiality, and data protection. Council President Jean-Bernard Padaré described the initiative as a first for Chad's institutions, emphasizing AI's ability to improve efficiency and speed up administrative and legal tasks.

Padaré stressed that while AI can assist with tasks like drafting, research, and translation, it must not replace human judgment or responsibility. The council prioritizes security, confidentiality, and legal compliance in adopting these new technologies to support its constitutional and electoral duties.
