Albania's AI Minister Diella to Have 83 "Digital Children" as Assistants for MPs, Promoting Transparency in Governance

Behold, Albania has taken an ironic leap into the future by appointing Diella, the world's first AI minister, who is now "pregnant" with 83 digital children. Designed to assist every Socialist Party lawmaker, these AI aides will dutifully record sessions, monitor discussions, and even suggest how to counterattack when MPs forget to return from coffee breaks. Naturally, this is all in the name of transparency—because relying solely on humans hasn’t worked out so well. One could argue that the code running Diella might just have more common sense than her human counterparts. Good luck with that, Albania!
