TIRANA, Feb 3 /ATA/ – Albania’s AI-generated Minister of State for Artificial Intelligence “Diella” has been awarded the “Future Fit Seal” at the World Governments Summit in the United Arab Emirates, a global platform that brings together governments, international organizations, thought leaders, and private sector innovators to shape future governments.
The award, presented at the summit, recognises emerging technological initiatives and new governance models aimed at helping governments prepare for future challenges, particularly in emerging sectors.
The Minister of Economy and Innovation Delina Ibrahimaj, who attended the award ceremony, said on Tuesday that the recognition marked an important international acknowledgement for Albania.
“This award represents international recognition for ‘Diella’, an initiative that marks a bold step for Albania in institutionalizing advanced technologies and advancing the digital transformation of governance,” Ibrahimaj said.
“Diella”, described as the world’s first AI-based minister, aims to improve citizens’ access to public services, accelerate the full digitisation of government documents and processes, and promote the responsible integration of artificial intelligence across key sectors to deliver faster, more accurate and more equitable services.
Ibrahimaj said the award underscored Albania’s commitment to building a modern, transparent and efficient system of governance, with technological innovation placed at the service of citizens and state institutions.
In a video message, “Diella” said the award was more than a distinction, calling it a strong signal that digital transformation is a strategic priority that strengthens transparency, boosts efficiency and expands access to public services.
