Prime Minister Edi Rama, while dwelling extensively on the new governing cabinet that he presented today at the Socialist Party Assembly, also introduced Diella.

Diella will be the AI ??servant of public procurement.

The first non-physically present member created by Artificial Intelligence, in the governing processes, a mandate to influence the pace of the governing processes.

Without having to open the Constitution, we asked chatGPT a few questions.

The following are the answers:

Question: can Diella become a Minister?

ChatGPT: That depends. Becoming a minister is not only related to personal desire, but to certain specified conditions:

Legal requirements: Must be an Albanian citizen, over 18 years old, with full civil rights and not be convicted of criminal offenses that prevent the exercise of public functions.

Political election: Ministers are not directly elected by the people, but are proposed by the Prime Minister and appointed by the President by decree. So, it depends on whether the political party they belong to proposes them and the Prime Minister selects them.

Experience and support: Experience in politics, administration, or specific fields is usually required, as well as support within the party and from public opinion.

So, in theory yes, Diella can become a minister, if she meets the legal requirements and manages to gain political support.

Question: "Diella" is a digital platform. Can she become a minister?

ChatGPT: You're talking about Diella as a digital platform, not as a person.

In legal and practical terms:

No, a digital platform cannot become a minister. Legal conditions stipulate that only a natural person, an Albanian citizen, who meets the constitutional criteria can be a minister.

However, a platform like Diella can be used by a minister or a ministry to provide services, manage data, communicate with citizens, or implement public policies.

In many countries, digital platforms have taken on a major role in governance ("e-Government"), but always as a tool, not as a legal bearer of the function.

So, Diella cannot be a minister, but she can be the "digital arm" of a ministry and have a decisive role in how governance functions.

Chat GPT: I'll give you some concrete examples of how digital platforms have been used in different countries to support ministries, even though the platforms themselves do not become "ministries":

Examples from Albania

e-Albania: It is the Albanian government's digital platform that offers over 1200 public services online. It is not a ministry, but the Ministry of State for Administration and line ministries use it as a tool for providing services. In practice, citizens interact more with the platform than with officials.

Electronic Prescription System: Used by the Ministry of Health and the Health Care Insurance Fund. This system is also a digital platform that facilitates the work of doctors and patients.

Examples from other countries

Estonia – e-Government: Estonia is considered a world leader in digital governance. They have a central platform (X-Road) that connects all public institutions. The platform is not a ministry, but actually performs functions faster and more efficiently than traditional ministries.

India – DigiLocker: It is a national platform where citizens keep all their digital documents (passports, diplomas, certificates, etc.). The government uses it for transparency and faster services.

Dubai – Smart Government: A platform that aims to completely replace paper-based services and physical counters, moving them to online applications and portals.

What does it mean for the Sun?

If Diella is an Albanian digital platform, it cannot be a “minister” as a legal entity, but it can become a “digital pillar” of a ministry – that is, to manage services, increase transparency and bring citizens closer to institutions. In practice, citizens can say: “I didn’t go to the ministry, I solved it with Diella . ”/CNA
