Albania Prime Minister Edi Rama has announced that the country’s first AI-generated government minister, Diella, is “pregnant", and is expected to “give birth" to 83 AI “children," one for each Socialist Party member of parliament.

While addressing the Global Dialogue (BGD) in Germany’s Berlin, Rama said, “We took quite a risk today with Diella here and we did very well. So for the first time, Diella is pregnant and with 83 children."

Rama explained that the “children," or assistants, will document all parliamentary proceedings and update legislators on any discussions or events they were unable to attend.

“Each one…will serve as an assistant for those who will participate in parliamentary sessions, and will keep a record of everything that happens, and will suggest members of parliament. These children will know their mother," he said.

He anticipated that the system would be completely functional by the close of 2026.

All About Diella

Albania, in September, officially appointed an artificial intelligence-powered minister to ensure that the country’s public procurement framework operates with complete transparency and without corruption.

Initially introduced as a virtual assistant in January on the e-Albania portal, she has been assisting citizens and businesses in acquiring state documentation. The AI minister is depicted as a woman dressed in traditional Albanian costume.

Introducing her to the public, Rama described Diella as “the first member of the cabinet who does not physically exist but is created virtually through AI."

According to Rama, Diella will play a central role in removing decision-making around tenders from government ministries and transferring that responsibility to an incorruptible AI system. “She is the servant of public procurement," he stated, emphasising that Albania is taking a “step-by-step" approach to ensure public tenders become “100 percent incorruptible" and that every public fund involved is “100 percent legible."

Diella will not only evaluate tenders but will also have the authority to “hire talents here from all over the world," helping to break down “the fear of prejudice and rigidity of the administration."

Rama highlighted that the ultimate goal is to ensure full transparency in tender procedures and to reduce corruption throughout the government supply chain. The appointment also signals a major step toward integrating artificial intelligence into everyday governance.
