How the "fake" news about the Sun spread to Russia...
Footage is published of Russian leaders mocking Edi Rama's Diella.
Yesterday, during a high-level meeting of the member states of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO), the speaker of the Russian State Duma, Vyacheslav Volodin, mocked Albania’s decision to appoint a digital avatar to a government post. He declared to Putin that “in one European country they have already gone so far as to give an AI a ministerial post, and she is already under investigation for abuse of power.” “Pamphlet” has obtained the video where our minister is mocked.
But what has further fueled this wave of international irony is a fake news story, spread by unknown portals, that claimed that Diella had been "arrested" for corruption in public procurement and that he had accepted "bribery in cryptocurrency." The news, which was then widely shared on social networks and some international media in and near the Russian zone, was exposed as satire by the original source, a site that produces humorous content.
In reality, Diella is not a natural person, has no legal status to be "arrested", and is part of a digital platform introduced by Prime Minister Edi Rama as part of the reform for transparency in public procurement.
However, the experiment with the bot-minister has generated more memes and sarcasm than admirers internationally. Western media have described it as “an innovative but controversial step,” while critics in Albania have accused the government of a technological spectacle that hides the real problems of governance.
