Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama has appointed Diella—the world's first AI-powered virtual minister—to oversee all public procurement, aiming to eliminate corruption and enhance transparency in a sector long criticized by the EU. Named after the Albanian word for "sunshine," Diella will evaluate tenders, recruit global talent, and ensure decisions are made outside traditional ministries, rendering processes "100 percent incorruptible and legible," according to Rama. The move follows Rama's summer musings on AI governance and builds on Albania's digital e-Albania platform.
