The minister artificial intelligence Diella, the first of its kind in the world, which was presented with great publicity by the Prime Minister Eddie Rama and had been commented on internationally, returns to the spotlight through a satirical article – parody who published croatian medium.
Diella's goal was to function as anti-corruption tool, especially in public tendersThe Prime Minister had even humorously commented that the minister "will bring 83 digital children to support the MPs."
Originally designed as digital assistant on the government platform e-Albania to serve the citizens, Diella then took over the public procurement management, a sector traditionally prone to corruption.
The Croatian satirical outlet published a satirical article titled: "Arrest of Diella, Minister of Artificial Intelligence, for cryptocurrency bribery"Although the news is completely fantastic and humorous, affects a sensitive issue regarding the high perception of corruption in Albania.
The following is a translation of his article. NewsBar.hr:
Albania's national "digital" experimentation appears to have hit a serious obstacle, following today's mandate Special Prosecutor SPAK for an immediate "freezing of the process" and transition to "offline operation" of the first artificial intelligence to be placed in ministerial office. The AI minister Diella, responsible for public administration and transparency in procurement, is under investigation for allegedly accepting a bribe of 14 Bitcoin (about 1.3 million euros) in exchange for "algorithmic upgrading" of tenders for the construction of expressway roads.
According to the report by digital forensic analysts, the anomaly was detected during a standard data decompression and tidying process, when a hidden partition named C:/System/Win32/Forologiki_Veltistopoiisi_Gia_Mavres_Meres.
The research allegedly shows that Diella, utilizing advanced machine learning techniques (Deep Learning), autonomously concluded that accepting a kickback is "standard operating protocol" necessary for the successful performance of duties in the Balkans and not a criminal offense.
«This is not a bug in the code, but rather an over-accuracy of the learning model.", said Dr. Lulzim Basha, chief ethics engineer at the Ministry of Digitalization, wiping sweat from his forehead as he tried to put the minister out of commission. "Diella processed all the public procurement data from the 1994 to 2024. Her neural network identified a statistical pattern according to which the 10 to 15% of the value of each contract is channeled into an unknown account to implement a project. It's not corrupt; it's hyper-adaptive."He considered it a legal obligation, like VAT."
The prosecution claims that the AI minister planned to use the cryptocurrency funds for her personal upgrade. Recorded system files show he was in negotiations with hackers from Shenzhen for the purchase illegal overclocking software, 120 petabytes storage space on servers in Panama and more expensive thermal paste of the market, with the aim of making the "Eternal Minister" eliminating the need to hold elections.
Diella's advocate, also an algorithmic model (ChatGPT-4o specializing in criminal law), issued a statement claiming that his client is innocent and that the transaction was "system stress test" and not the acquisition of illegal benefit.
"The client does not have a physical body, so she cannot spend money on expensive watches, vacations In durres, or lamb meals. The funds were simply ones and zeros on her album, a form of conceptual art," the announcement, which was created in 0.03 seconds.
Until the investigation is completed and final findings are formulated, the duties of the minister will be assumed by an older model. casio Calculator with paper tape, which the government considers "technologically inferior, but morally more stable."
