In Malaysia, a former Prime Minister is already in prison and several others are awaiting trial for corruption involving tens of billions of Ringgit. Yesterday, Albania appointed Diella, an AI chatbot, as a cabinet minister with the specific aim of combating corruption in the awarding of government contracts.
A response to corruption and bribery
For your information, Diella is the first non-human cabinet minister in Albania and the world. Because she is not human, she cannot be bribed, flattered, lobbied, tempted or threatened to award government contracts to certain individuals.
Moreover, this is a drastic and quite interesting move. Previously, the Swedish Prime Minister was criticised by the people after admitting to using ChatGPT to pitch ideas on policies that his administration could use.
With Malaysia aiming to become an AI-driven country under the 13th RMK, maybe we can also try appointing chatbots as ministers. No need to pay allowances, buy official vehicles and pay for convoys when on the road.
