Saralnama, Albania's Prime Minister Edi Rama introduced an AI minister named Diella to his cabinet. Diella, meaning 'sun' in Albanian, will serve as minister for public procurement. Her main task is to ensure corruption-free public tenders. Rama aims to make the bidding process faster and more efficient. Diella previously worked as a virtual assistant on the e-Albania platform, helping over a million applications. The opposition Democratic Party called this move 'ridiculous' and 'unconstitutional'. However, some experts see potential in using AI to improve transparency in public procurement. Rama hopes this initiative will push other cabinet members to think differently.
