Albania’s AI Minister Pregnant with 83 Digital Assistants

In a remarkable and unprecedented development, Albania’s Prime Minister Edi Rama has announced that the country’s Artificial Intelligence (AI) Minister, “DeeLA,” is pregnant — and will give birth to 83 children. However, these “children” are not human beings but digital assistants designed to support members of parliament.

Edi Rama clarified that each of the 83 AI assistants will serve as a personal virtual aide for members of parliament — recording sessions, summarizing decisions, and analyzing debates. The name “DeeLA” means “sun” in Albanian.

Appointed in September 2025 as Albania’s first non-human (AI-based) minister, DeeLA’s primary role is to make the country’s public procurement system transparent, efficient, and corruption-free.

Today, we have taken a historic step, Edi Rama declared. DeeLA is pregnant, and she will have 83 children  each serving as a personal AI assistant to our parliamentarians.

Duties of the AI ‘Children’

Each AI child will act as a virtual parliamentary assistant, responsible for:

Keeping a complete record and analysis of parliamentary sessions,

Informing members about missed speeches or votes,

Suggesting timely responses or counterarguments during debates.

In a lighthearted tone, the Prime Minister joked:

“If a member goes for coffee and forgets to return, DeeLA’s child will brief them on what happened and who they need to respond to.”

When Will the System Be Operational?

According to Edi Rama, this digital parliamentary system will be fully functional by the end of 2026, bringing greater transparency and efficiency to Albania’s legislative process.

DeeLA is a completely digital entity, made purely of code and pixels, and has been assisting Albanian citizens with government services via the e-Albania platform since January 2025.

A Historic Step for Albania

With this initiative, Albania has become the first country in the world to appoint an AI-based minister to its cabinet. Experts describe the move as not only a symbolic revolution in technology but also a significant step toward digital democracy and transparent governance.
