Overview
- Prime Minister Edi Rama said at the Berlin Global Dialogue that Diella is “pregnant” with 83 AI assistants, one for each Socialist Party MP.
- The digital aides are meant to attend sessions, keep comprehensive records, brief absent lawmakers, and recommend responses during debates.
- Rama set an expectation that the assistant network will be fully functional by the end of 2026.
- Diella began in January as an e-Albania virtual helper and was elevated in September to oversee public procurement in a push for transparency.
- The project involves Albania’s National Agency for Information Society with Microsoft, while opponents question constitutionality and accountability under rules requiring ministers to be natural persons.
