He said that in the right hands, he can transform governance – but that in the wrong hands, “a digital disguise for the same old dysfunction” is being made.

“Hi Siri, how fast can we join the EU?”

Albania became a headline in 2024, when the prime minister announced that artificial intelligence was used to help Albania in its course towards joining the European Union.

With Rama’s sweeping victory in the 2025 General elections, with a ballot paper that announced the EU accession by 2030, the race to complete the work has begun.
