From tax offices to cabinet rooms, artificial intelligence is already crossing the line from servant to sovereign<\/strong><\/p>\n

A new minister has joined the cabinet of a small European country. Her name is Diella. She doesn’t eat, drink, smoke, walk, or breathe – and, according to the prime minister who hired her, she doesn’t take bribes either. Diella isn’t human, and she’s not quite a robot either: she’s an algorithm. And as of September, she is officially Albania’s minister for public procurement.<\/p>\n

For the first time in history, a government has given a cabinet-level post to artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n

Sounds like sci-fi, but the appointment is real and has set a precedent. <\/p>\n

Are you ready to be governed by AI? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The Albanian experiment<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

Until recently, Diella lived quietly on Albania’s e-government portal, answering routine citizen questions and fetching documents.<\/p>\n

Then Prime Minister Edi Rama promoted her to ministerial rank, tasking her with something far more important: deciding who wins state contracts – a function worth billions in public money and notorious for bribery, favoritism, and political kickbacks.<\/p>\n

Rama has framed Diella as a clean break with the country’s history of graft – even calling her “impervious to bribes.”<\/em><\/p>\n

But that’s rhetoric, not a guarantee. Whether her resistance to corruption is technically or legally enforceable is unclear. If she were hacked, poisoned with false data, or subtly manipulated from inside, there might be no fingerprints.<\/p>\n

The plan is for Diella to evaluate bids, cross-check company histories, flag suspicious patterns, and eventually award tenders automatically. Officials say this will slash the bureaucracy’s human footprint, save time, and make procurement immune to political pressure.<\/p>\n

But the legal mechanics are murky. Nobody knows how much human oversight she will have, or who is accountable if she makes a mistake. There is no court precedent for suing an algorithmic minister. There is also no law describing how she can be removed from office.<\/p>\n

Critics warn that if her training data contains traces of old corruption, she might simply reproduce the same patterns in code, but faster. Others point out that Albania has not explained how Diella’s decisions can be appealed, or even if they can be appealed.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

What could possibly go wrong?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

Public reaction to Diella has been mixed, with fascination tempered by unease.<\/p>\n

“Even Diella will be corrupted in Albania,”<\/em> one viral post read.<\/p>\n

Critics warn she might not be cleansing the system – just hiding the dirt inside the code.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
