flag Albania made history by appointing an AI named Diella as a cabinet minister to fight corruption, sparking debate over ethics and legality.

flag In September 2025, Albania appointed Diella, an AI system named for the Albanian word for “sun,” as Minister of State for Artificial Intelligence, becoming the first country to give an AI a cabinet-level role. flag The symbolic appointment aimed to combat corruption in public contracting and reflect a global trend of integrating AI into government to boost efficiency. flag While Diella has limited authority and operates under human oversight, its appearance in parliament via digital avatar sparked debate over constitutionality and ethics. flag U.S. federal agencies reported over 1,700 AI uses by late 2024, more than double the prior year, with generative AI use rising ninefold. flag Experts warn that while AI adoption in government is growing, high-impact decisions require transparency, accountability, and public input, especially amid concerns over misuse in surveillance and regulatory review.
