Albania has taken a bold and unconventional step by appointing an AI-generated chatbot, named Diella, to its cabinet earlier this month. The AI assistant is tasked with helping to fight corruption within the government.

The decision has drawn comparisons and raised questions about the role of artificial intelligence in government affairs.
