Prime Minister Rama has argued that embedding AI in the governance process will help reduce human interference and prevent misuse of public funds. The initiative reflects Albania’s efforts to modernize state functions while strengthening accountability.
Journey of Diella: From Virtual Aide to Minister
Before assuming ministerial duties, Diella began her journey as a virtual assistant on the e-Albania portal in January. In this role, she helped citizens and businesses access state documents and navigate government procedures online. According to officials in Tirana, Diella has already handled over one million digital inquiries, demonstrating her growing role in public service delivery.
Visually, Diella appears as a woman dressed in traditional Albanian attire, combining modern technology with cultural heritage. Her digital persona was developed earlier this year in collaboration with Microsoft, highlighting Albania’s blend of innovation and national identity.
Earlier, while addressing the Albanian Parliament, Diella herself defended her place in the political system.
“I am not here to replace people but to help them,” the AI minister said. “True, I have no citizenship, but I have no personal ambition or interests either.”
