Albania just made history. According to Futurism, Prime Minister Edi Rama announced the world’s first AI government official, “Diella” (meaning sunshine), to oversee public procurement.
-
AI Official “Diella” – tasked with monitoring how taxpayer money is spent.
-
Corruption crackdown – designed to make tenders “100% incorruptible and legible.”
-
Bias Reduction – Rama claims it will reduce bias and rigidity in administration.
-
Tech roots – earlier reports link Diella to OpenAI and Microsoft Azure.
∴
Will AI really cut corruption, or just create new risks in government decision-making?
