Albania is now world's first nation to appoint AI-created minister to tackle corruption
Albania has become the world's first nation to create an artificial intelligence-generated government “minister” to tackle corruption.
The AI Minister, the first such attempt in the world, could be seen as a woman dressed in traditional Albanian attire.
The digital assistant is called Diella, meaning Sun, and has been advising people how to navigate government services online since January, reporetd Euro News.
Albania’s Prime Minister Edi Rama on Thursday announced the addition of the minister to his government.
"Diella is the first [government] member who is not physically present, but virtually created by artificial intelligence," Rama said as quoted by Euro News.
Diella will be entrusted with all decisions on public tenders, making them "100 per cent corruption-free,” he said.
Corruption remains a major issue in the country.
As per Transparency International’s corruption index website, the country ranked 80th among 180 nations in the list.
