Albania appoints the world's first AI minister: what the virtual official will do

The world has seen the first virtual minister, powered by artificial intelligence. Albania has become a pioneer in this field, and Diella, which translates from Albanian as 'sunlight', has already been appointed responsible for public procurement. Prime Minister Edi Rama decided to implement this innovation, presenting the virtual minister at a meeting of the Socialist Party in Tirana.Diella will make decisions on tenders 'outside of ministries', allowing artificial intelligence to actively participate in government work. This indicates a new stage in the application of technologies in politics and governance. It is also worth noting that the development of artificial intelligence in China could give this country a significant advantage in the global competitive struggle for leadership in this field.
