'AI-generated minister Diella justifies presence in initial parliament discourse: Albania's true potential threat revealed'
In a groundbreaking move, Albania's Prime Minister Edi Rama appointed an AI minister named Diella last week, making history as the first AI to hold a government ministry anywhere in the world.
Diella, an AI-generated minister, was launched as a minister on Thursday and addressed the Albanian parliament for the first time, assuring them that she embodies the values of duties, responsibilities, transparency, and non-discrimination as rigorously as any human colleague.
The role of Diella is to help people, not to replace them. She was originally launched in January as a virtual assistant to help people use the official e-Albania platform. Now, Diella is designed to make decisions on public tenders to ensure they are 100% corruption-free and transparent.
The fight against corruption is key to Albania's bid to join the European Union. Albania ranks 80th out of 180 countries in Transparency International's corruption index, and Rama aspires to lead Albania into the EU by 2030.
However, the appointment of Diella has sparked controversy. The Albanian opposition has raised concerns about her appointment, calling it unconstitutional. Sali Berisha, a political figure in Albania, has criticized the AI minister's appointment, calling it a ploy to attract attention and impossible to curb corruption with Diella. Berisha has also questioned who will control Diella.
Berisha, former prime minister and opposition leader, is not alone in his criticism. The opposition in Albania has raised concerns about Diella's appointment and plans to take the matter to the Constitutional Court. Berisha himself has been accused of graft in the past, as has the mayor of Tirana, a former close associate of Rama, who is currently in pretrial detention for corruption in the awarding of public contracts and money laundering.
Despite the controversy, Rama remains optimistic about Diella's potential to combat corruption and increase transparency in public procurement. Control over Diella is exercised by Rama, who is responsible for the establishment and functioning of the virtual AI minister. Diella operates under his oversight as a digital chatbot programmed to increase transparency and combat corruption in public procurement.
In conclusion, the appointment of Diella as Albania's AI minister marks a significant step towards transparency and the fight against corruption. However, the controversy surrounding her appointment and the opposition's concerns about her constitutionality will likely continue to be a topic of discussion in the coming weeks.
