BERLIN (Chatnewstv.com) — In a presentation that merged digital governance with political theater, Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama announced that the country’s first Artificial Intelligence minister, Diella, is “pregnant” with 83 digital assistants intended to serve Socialist lawmakers.
Speaking at the Berlin Global Dialogue, Rama used the tongue-in-cheek metaphor to symbolize the next phase of Albania’s ambitious digital governance plan, meant to boost accountability and transparency.
“We took quite a risk today with Diella here and we did very well,” Rama said. “So for the first time, Diella is pregnant and with 83 children.”
Diella, whose name means Sun in Albanian, was appointed in May 2025 as the world’s first AI-generated cabinet minister, tasked primarily with rooting out corruption in public procurement.
Rama explained that Diella’s new “children” are AI assistants programmed to support Albania’s 83 Socialist Party members of Parliament. Each digital aide will be responsible for recording parliamentary sessions, summarizing debates, and alerting lawmakers to key discussions they might otherwise miss.
“Each one will serve as an assistant for those who will participate in parliamentary sessions,” Rama explained. “These children will know their mother.”
The Prime Minister projected the full system would be operational by the end of 2026. Diella, visually represented as a woman in traditional Albanian dress, oversees tenders and contracts using data-driven logic to ensure fairness.
“She is the servant of public procurement,” Rama had declared previously. “We want to make tenders 100 percent incorruptible and every public fund 100 percent legible.”
Despite the high-tech enthusiasm from the capital of Tirana, experts have cautioned that such heavy reliance on AI for core government functions raises significant ethical and accountability concerns.
