Key Takeaways Albania becomes the first country to appoint an AI-powered minister to oversee government functions. The AI minister "Diella" will manage all public procurement to eliminate corruption i...
"Diella is the first cabinet member who isn't physically present, but is virtually created by AI," Rama said during a speech unveiling his new cabinet. The Prime Minister emphasized that she will help make Albania "a country where public tenders are 100% free of corruption."
Diella originally launched early this year as an AI-powered virtual assistant on the e-Albania platform, helping citizens and businesses obtain state documents. Dressed in traditional Albanian attire, she provides assistance through voice commands and issues documents with electronic stamps, reducing bureaucratic delays.
The government did not provide details of what human oversight there might be for Diella, or address risks that someone could manipulate the artificial intelligence bot.
The new parliament, elected in May, is scheduled to convene on Friday, though it remains unclear if the government will be voted on the same day.
The appointment represents a bold experiment in digital governance as Albania seeks to leverage technology to address longstanding governance challenges and advance its European integration goals.
