The Spin

Techno-optimist narrative

This groundbreaking appointment is a revolutionary solution to Albania's chronic corruption problems. AI cannot be bribed, threatened or influenced by personal ties, making Diella the perfect guardian of public funds. It offers the transparency and objectivity that humans failed to deliver.

Techno-skeptic narrative

Albania's AI minister is a reckless gamble with democratic accountability. When algorithms make procurement decisions worth millions, who answers for corruption or bias? AI systems inherit the biases of their creators, often lack ethical judgment, and struggle to navigate complex human contexts.
