Albania has appointed the world's first artificial intelligence "minister", named Diella, to tackle corruption in public tenders. Prime Minister Edi Rama launched Diella, pledging that public procurement will now be "100% free of corruption."

• Diella, meaning "sun" in Albanian, was created in cooperation with Microsoft and will manage all government tenders.
• Prime Minister Edi Rama began his fourth consecutive term, stating Diella will serve as the "guardian of transparency in public spending."
• The Democratic Party opposition, led by Gazmend Bardhi, criticized the move as unconstitutional and political theater, while citizens express skepticism.
