TIRANA, September 25 /ATA/ – Prime Minister Edi Rama stated today at the United Nations General Assembly in New York that Albania is the first country to introduce an artificial intelligence instrument into its government architecture through “Diella,” the AI minister.
Rama emphasized that, “This was not done to transfer sovereignty from people to machines.”
Instead, according to him, the goal is to make public services more accessible, procedures more transparent and the state more accountable.
“No machine carries democratic legitimacy; no algorithm inherits constitutional responsibility. Behind every decision with public impact, there must remain a legal mandate, a human institution and a name that can be called to account,” Rama stressed.
Rama highlighted that, within a country, artificial intelligence can reduce the distance between citizens and public services.
“On the other hand, unaccountable artificial intelligence can seamlessly bridge the gap between falsehood and the human mind,” he added. /r.e/a.f/p.s./
