Tirana, September 2025 — Albania has officially unveiled its new government cabinet, marking a transformative moment in national and global governance. Among the newly appointed officials, the most groundbreaking development is the introduction of Diella, Albania’s first digital minister—and the first of its kind in the world.
Diella is an artificial intelligence-powered entity assigned to oversee public procurement and digital services. Her role is to ensure full transparency in government contracts and eliminate corruption in public tenders. This innovative step places Albania at the forefront of digital governance, setting a global precedent.
Prime Minister Edi Rama emphasized that Diella’s appointment is not symbolic but functional. She has already processed tens of thousands of digitally sealed documents and assisted citizens through the e-Albania platform. Her integration into the cabinet reflects Albania’s commitment to modernization, accountability, and technological leadership.
With this move, Albania becomes the first country to officially appoint an AI-powered minister, signaling a bold new chapter in public administration.
