In an interview with the British radio station "Times Radio", published this Sunday, Prime Minister Edi Rama spoke, among other things, about 'Minister' Diella.
Rama said that, of course, as the minister he is, it is his responsibility, while explaining why he took this step.
He stated that the country must make up for lost time over the decades, and according to him, Diella has great potential to perform better than everyone else.
"First, I want to know if it's you or an AI version of you? Prime Minister, why this decision for a minister with Artificial Intelligence ," the journalist asked humorously.
“First of all, you can't know if it's me or my artificial version (laughs)…. but as long as the Prime Minister of Albania is talking to you through the official channel, then it's my responsibility.
We have decided to take this big step because we want to push our reforms forward more quickly, and it is not only necessary for reforms in digital terms, but in terms of modernization and as I have always said, new technology and now AI are a blessing for countries like us that come from a long way.
"In the era of linear progress, we would have had an even more difficult time regaining the time lost over decades and centuries ," Rama said.
Asked if Diella poses a risk and how it will function, Rama said:
“The sun is the sun that never sets, it never sleeps, it doesn't need to be paid so it has no private interests, it has no cousins, and cousins in Albania are a big problem… it also can't change its mind and it doesn't care if they fire it.
"Joking aside, she has extraordinary leadership strength, and it is very difficult for a non-AI minister to push forward a reform as well and quickly as an AI minister."
Rama added that artificial intelligence is helping Albania join the European Union, citing as an example how the translation of group chapters is being done in record time.
