US EditionAlbania’s Government Debuts Its AI ‘Minister’ to Parliament
The AI minister, named Diella and created with Microsoft, aims to make public tenders fully transparent and corruption-free amid Albania's EU accession efforts.
- Albania debuted its first AI-generated government minister, Diella, who addressed parliament on Thursday as part of a transparency initiative.
- Prime Minister Edi Rama appointed Diella last week to support public tender transparency amid Albania's ongoing anti-corruption efforts and EU accession goals.
- Developed earlier this year in partnership with Microsoft, Diella operates within the e-Albania public service platform to support users by handling around one million digital requests.
- The AI minister emphasized that the technology is intended to assist people rather than take their place, while opposition members condemned Diella as unconstitutional and ineffective in tackling corruption.
- This AI appointment signals Albania's push for technological innovation and EU membership by 2030, while political opposition and concerns over governance transparency persist.
