September 12, 2025

A digital assistant that helps people navigate government services online has become the first "virtually created" AI cabinet minister and put in charge of public procurement in an attempt to cut down on corruption, the Albanian prime minister has said.

Diella, which means "sun" in Albanian, has been advising users on the state's e-Albania portal since January, helping them to access about 95% of citizen services digitally.

"Diella, the first cabinet member who is not physically present, but has been virtually created by AI," would help make Albania "a country where public tenders are 100% free of corruption", Edi Rama said yesterday.
