Meet Diella, Albania’s “AI minister.”Diella was “born” on January 19, 2025, with the job of managing Albania’s ‘e-Albania’ platform, which digitally provides over 1,200 public services to Albanian citizens. Her promotion makes Diella responsible for Albania’s billion-dollar public procurement process, in which Albania’s government purchases goods and services from the private sector. With AI in charge, any blame for corruption in public procurement can be shifted away from Rama’s administration and onto Diella." Furthermore, Diella’s newly announced “babies” are a domestic threat to effective democracy because they privilege Rama’s Socialist Party. Diella’s AI ministry looks to be another chapter in Albania’s history of corruption rather than an answer for it.
