US EditionAlbania's AI Minister 'Pregnant' With 83 Digital Assistants
- At the Berlin Global Dialogue, Prime Minister Edi Rama announced that Diella, Albania's AI-generated state minister, is described as 'pregnant' and will soon 'give birth' to 83 AI 'children' to ensure transparency in public procurement.
- Developed by the National Agency for Information Society with Microsoft, Diella first launched in January as a virtual assistant on the e-Albania platform and was upgraded to Diella 2.0 with voice and an animated avatar.
- Rama said the offspring will be virtual assistants assigned to 83 Socialist Party members of parliament who will participate in sessions, keep records, and suggest actions, with knowledge to recount missed debates.
- The Bloomsbury Intelligence and Security Institute warned Diella will 'test' public trust and expects opposition MPs to challenge her legal status amid Article 100's natural-person rule and absence from the September 15 cabinet list approved by Bajram Begaj, President of Albania.
- Experts say Diella exemplifies how AI is reshaping modern life with its large language model, and a think-tank noted other nations may adopt similar virtual executive roles if successful.
