Qualitätssicherung durch menschliche Sachbearbeiter beim KI-Projekt SPARK

Germany · German Bundestag · 10 April 2026

Originaltext der Frage(n):<br /> <br /> Wie soll die Qualitätsprüfung durch die menschlichen Sachbearbeiterinnen und Sachbearbeiter im Projekt SPARK (www.sz-dossier.de/dossiers/digitalwende/2026-04-01-social-media-altersgrenzen-eu-laender-preschen-vorki-agenten-fuer-den-staat-bmds-veroeffentlicht-code) konkret gewährleistet werden, wenn diese einerseits als "Human in the Loop" die Verantwortung für die Ergebnisse der Arbeit von KI-Agenten übernehmen sollen, deren Arbeit also irgendwie inhaltlich überprüfen müssten, und andererseits der Einsatz dieser KIAgenten die Bearbeitung von Anträgen mit sehr großen Aktenmengen extrem verkürzen soll (Bundesminister für Digitales und Staatsmodernisierung Dr. Karsten Wildberger sprach beispielsweise von 80 Prozent: https://bmds.bund.de/aktuelles/reden/detail/dbb-jahrestagung-2026monatelange, das Bundesministerium für Digitales und Staatsmodernisierung spricht von Stunden statt Monaten: https://background.tagesspiegel.de/digitalisierung-und-ki/briefing/ki-agent-aus-dem-deutschland-stack-erhaelt-preis-des-world-governmentsummits), sodass eine angemessene menschliche Überprüfung aus meiner Sicht schwer vorstellbar ist, oder ist es zutreffend, dass die Qualitätsüberprüfung durch spezielle Qualitätssicherungs-KIAgenten übernommen werden soll, wie es meinem Vernehmen nach ein Vertreter des SPARKProjektes auf einem Panel der Konferenz Digitaler Staat 2026 angedeutet hat, was bedeuten würde, dass die jeweilige Sachbearbeiterin bzw. der jeweilige Sachbearbeiter nur die menschliche Verantwortung für eine von KI-Agenten getroffene Entscheidung übernimmt?

Question 14184 — tourisme et loisirs

France · National Assembly · 7 April 2026

Mme Fanny Dombre Coste interroge M. le ministre des petites et moyennes entreprises, du commerce, de l'artisanat, du tourisme et du pouvoir d'achat sur l'absence de cadre juridique clair applicable au métier de travel planner . Activité en plein essor, le métier de travel planner répond à une demande croissante de voyageurs souhaitant être accompagnés dans la conception de séjours personnalisés, sans pour autant recourir à une agence de voyage traditionnelle. Ces professionnels interviennent en tant que conseillers indépendants, sans vendre ni encaisser de prestations touristiques, ce qui les distingue du statut d'opérateur de voyages. Toutefois, en l'absence de reconnaissance et de définition juridique précises, cette activité se développe aujourd'hui dans un cadre incertain, susceptible de créer des incompréhensions tant pour les professionnels que pour les consommateurs. Cette situation soulève des enjeux en matière de protection des usagers, de lisibilité des offres et de concurrence équitable avec les acteurs traditionnels du secteur. Plusieurs initiatives parlementaires ont récemment mis en lumière la nécessité de clarifier ce cadre et d'engager un dialogue avec les professionnels concernés, notamment les associations représentatives du secteur. Dans ce contexte, elle lui demande si le Gouvernement envisage de définir un cadre juridique spécifique permettant de reconnaître et d'encadrer le métier de travel planner , afin de sécuriser les pratiques, protéger les consommateurs et accompagner le développement de cette activité dans des conditions transparentes et équilibrées.
