 Albania’s AI Minister Diella Addresses Parliament Amid Controversy


Albania’s groundbreaking AI-generated minister, Diella, addressed parliament for the first time on Thursday, September 18, 2025, defending its role in governance. Appointed last week by Prime Minister Edi Rama, Diella—meaning “sun” in Albanian—appeared as a video projection of a woman in traditional Albanian attire, stating it is “not here to replace people, but to help them.”


Diella, launched in January as a virtual assistant for the e-Albania platform, was entrusted with overseeing public tenders to ensure “100 percent corruption-free” processes and full transparency of public funds, according to Rama. The AI’s appointment comes as Albania, ranked 80th out of 180 in Transparency International’s corruption index, seeks to strengthen its anti-corruption measures in its bid to join the European Union by 2030.


Addressing constitutional concerns raised by critics, Diella said, “Some have called me ‘unconstitutional’ because I am not a human being. Let me remind you, the real danger to constitutions has never been the machines but the inhumane decisions of those in power.” The AI emphasized its commitment to duties, responsibilities, and transparency, claiming to uphold these values “as rigorously as any human colleague, perhaps even more so.”


The appointment has sparked fierce debate. Opposition leader and former Prime Minister Sali Berisha, himself accused of graft, dismissed Diella as a publicity stunt, arguing it is “impossible to curb corruption” with the AI. Berisha’s Democratic Party plans to challenge Diella’s constitutionality in the Constitutional Court, questioning who controls the AI. The opposition boycotted a rowdy parliamentary vote that approved the government’s plans.


The move comes amid ongoing corruption concerns in Albania, highlighted by the pretrial detention of Tirana’s mayor, a former Rama ally, on charges of corruption and money laundering related to public contracts. While Rama positions Diella as a tool to enhance transparency, critics remain skeptical of its impact on Albania’s entrenched corruption challenges.
