This is all we think about the one who aims to be Samsung’s most expensive mobile

by

Although they are not for all audiences (especially for their prices), Folding mobiles They have come to stay. Samsung has a lot to do with the consolidation of this category and has made the formats of their fold and Flip mark the way to follow. But there is a new format in which Samsung has not yet entered, the Triple folding. This is about to change. This is Everything that has leaked from Samsung’s triplegable. Possible Name of Samsung triplegable Although Samsung has confirmed its existencefor now they have not said what the new model will be called. At first, rumors suggested that Samsung Galaxy G fold would be calledwhich would distance it from the rest of folding that use the letter Z to differentiate from the rest of the ranges. During the summer, it was discovered that Samsung had patented another name that fits with a triple folding: Samsung Galaxy Z Trifold. We will have to wait to confirm it, but it makes more sense that Samsung wants to maintain the lyrics z in its range of folding. Thus samsung money earns: the secret is on the iPhone Samsung Galaxy Z Design Trifold This was the prototype they taught in 2021. Image: Samsung In recent years, Samsung has left us clues How they imagine a triple folding. In 2021 Samsung already showed several prototypes during the ‘Sid Display Week’, One of them was a triple folding. Later, in 2023, they showed Another triple folding prototype In the Mobile World Congress. Several weeks ago, This X user published three videos that contain several animations about some functions of the device, revealing that The design will be different from the expected. Thus I solve the folds in this prototype. Image: Tecno Unlike Huawei’s concept with the Mate XT Ultimate Designin which we only have a large screen and the mobile folds like forming a Z, Samsung’s triplegable It will have two screens: an external and a huge internal screen. When folding it, one sheet must be closed and then the other, like This concept presented by Tecno recently. The advantage is that so The interior screen is totally hiddenwhile in the case of Huawei is exposed on the edge. In This other filtered animation It looks how it will be deployed. Samsung Galaxy Z Trifold characteristics This summer the processor was leaked that will integrate the new folding, which will be none other than the Snapdragon 8 Elite for galaxy, the same one that carries the Galaxy Z fold7. In addition, it will be standard with Android 16 and Oneui 8, The most current versions of the operating system and the Samsung customization layer. On the screen, The rumors point that the internal panel will measure 10 inches diagonally and will be OLED type. In addition, it will have a Triple Chamber System which could be the same as we have at the Galaxy Z Fold7. It consists of a main sensor of 200 megapixels, an ultra angle of 12 megapixels and a 10 megapixel telephoto. Image: Qualcomm The filtration that we have mentioned in the previous block reveals some features, such as that it will have wireless load and also reverse load to load accessories such as headphones. Also Other functions have been leaked As you can reflect the home screen on the interior screen, with up to three pages of icons and widgets. Besides, Three apps can be used in Multiventana modea function that Samsung calls ‘Split Trio’. When will it be presented and what will be the price of Samsung Galaxy Z Trifold We expected that Samsung will announce its triple folding in the Unpacked That was celebrated this summer, but it was not so. Given the generalized disappointment, the company confirmed within a few days that the triple folding was in process and would arrive Before the end of the year. The Huawei Mate XT Ultimate Design. Image: Xataka In statements to the media during the IFA Fair of Berlinthe head of Samsung’s mobile division confirmed that development is in the “final phases” and reiterated the company’s intention to launch it before the end of the year. Today we have known that The device has received the certification in South Koreaso your arrival could be imminent. Samsung’s triple folding is expected to have A rather limited launchat least at the beginning. There are 50,000 units that will first reach South Korea and China. With respect to the price, there is nothing confirmed, but considering that the Galaxy Z FOLD7 costs 2,109 euros, Everything points What will be above 2,500 euros. In Xataka | 10 years ago, Samsung was the ugly duckling of Android software. Now is the example to follow

How to convert any person or thing of a photo into a hologram with Gemini and Nano Banana

by

Let’s tell you how convert any object or person of a photo into a hologram. For this we will use Geminithat integrates the free nano model. This allows you to do many things with Gemini’s image editor, such as Create ultra -realistic action dolls From a photo a photo and Many more things. As always, do a task like this with artificial intelligence It does not depend only on the model, but also on Prompt You use, the command with which you ask for it. Therefore, we are going to tell you which one to use and the things you should take into account to perfect it. Turn anything in a photo into a hologram The first thing you have to do is upload a photo to the Gemini writing field, either on the web or on the mobile. Then simply Write the prompt that we tell you belowand click to send everything so that AI does its magic. This is the prompt: “Convert (describe the object or the person to know what you mean) that appears in the image in a 3D hologram of transparent lines.” Here, the most important thing is make the AI ​​understand what object, person or animal you mean When you ask him to make him a hologram. When it is a photo where a distinguishable object appears, like a mobile, then you just have to say the mobile. If two similar things appear, such as two cats or two people, then you will have to give extra indications as you would like a person, such as telling him that he is the person on the right or the cat in the background with dark color. This is already. Only with these indications and leaving the rest of the prompt as Gemini will edit the photo to specifically modify what you have asked. It will not always go well to the firstthat is, you are not afraid to redo the action until it is to your liking. In fact, sometimes the result will be a representation of what is not always corresponding to what it was. For example, if you change a person for a hologram, a silhouette that is not always recognizable will appear. In other words, he sees trying again or tries to add to keep the factions.

Radiohead has invented a system to hinder entrances. At the expense of buying them is as uncomfortable as ever

by

Today the tickets of the Radiohead concerts In Madrid: on November 4 to 8 they will perform at the Movistar Arena, on their return to the stage after an absence of seven years. It is an event: the British group will only play in five European cities, adding a total of 20 concerts. But if these shows are attracted for something for something, apart from the desired of their return, it is because of their way of raising the events, distancing themselves from the customs that the live presentations of the first -line artists have plague for a few years. No resale. The first of these novelties is that the ads are for two months. No summer of 2026, they quote us by November 2025, in what is the first of the challenges to the rhythms of the industry it raises Radiohead. The second is a system that tries to prevent mass purchase to resale with inflated pricesthat Companies such as Ticketmaster allow with their mass purchase system. To do this, the group has implemented a previous registration system with identity verification, where those interested in the entries must fill in a form with their data. The system also asks which city can attend, suggesting that they will have more chances of obtaining code who choose the city closest to its residence. The limitations. And here the complications begin (beyond that, as Eldiario.es saidoften the user city automatic detection system does not work). After registration, users received a code by mail, indispensable to access the purchase, and limited to a city already up to four tickets per night. Radiohead reserves the right to cancel multiple purchases for different nights. Obtaining the code does not ensure the entrance to the concert, only access today to official sale. The problems. And here a certain chaos has begun, which is precisely what Radiohead wanted to avoid with the system. Output, the group advised the use of different devices so as not to be detected as bots, and the fact that each city managed the sale with a different platform (Ticketmaster, Axs, CTS Eventim, and in Spain inputs.com) already promised some disruptions when the moment of truth came. The complaints began before today: many potential spectators had not received their ticket for mail, since in many cases they were raffled. Other disruptions. A rapid survey of the general sensation In social networks It allows us to detect a few common complaints. For a start, Tickets.com has fallen into some areas For a good part of the morning, with what that implies when losing positions in the tail. On the other hand, the platform uses its waiting room system, which had not previously been explained to buyers, in the same way that the code had to be introduced into a generic window of “discount code”. That is, a specific platform for the peculiar sales system has not been created, and that has generated certain problems when trying to adapt it to an already created platform. Objective completed. In general, spectators have complained about the usability and accessibility of the process, with continuous queues and waiting, expulsions of buyers from the system and other experiences that will bring Vietnam memories to whom they have tried to buy tickets For some recent massive concert through Ticketmaster. But the primary intention of Radiohead (and more knowing how expected these concerts) was to put a brake or, at least, impediments to the resale. Buying Radiohead tickets has been, apparently, as uncomfortable as ever, no matter how much the resellers (which will be: as simple as putting according to different partners buying four tickets each with different identities) have been partially stopped. In the end, how to treat its fans with dignity remains the eternal subject pending of all the large groups, indies or not.

We sensed that Japan was very serious. The first shot at the JS Asuka with its electromagnetic cannon has confirmed it

by

In July Japan advertisement Something that surprised the world: he had physically mounted his riel cannon on the JS Asuka ship. In other words, the nation was already navigating with a science fiction weapon that the United States developed in the past, but had abandoned. A clear message that they were going very seriously. A message that has now taken full form. The Japanese milestone. Japan has achieved historical advance when performing the First documented test of a naval electromagnetic cannon fired at a real ship, installing a prototype in the Experimental ship JS Asuka. The Acquisition, Technology and Logistics Agency (ATLA) He has just confirmed That between June and July 2025 this essay was carried out successfully, which marks a before and after in the global race for new generation weapons. As we said at the beginning, this achievement takes on greater relevance because the United States Navy, than He led the field between 2005 and 2022, He left the project Due to its technical difficulties, while Japan He has persevered in search of a capacity that could redefine the naval war in Asia-Pacific. Technology, remains and possibilities. The so -called Railgun, capable of launching projectiles at hypersonic speeds Up to Mach 6.5 With charges of five megajulaios, it offers decisive advantages: Broad ammunition than missile in front of hypersonic missiles. However, it continues to face great technical challenges: Huge electrical consumption, complex cooling systems, the need to reconfigure the internal spaces of the ships and the extreme wear of the cannons after tens of shooting, which compromises precision and safety. The use of Asuka as a test platform reflects the need for open space on deck, something difficult to replicate in operating ships without expensive modifications. From prototype to operational weapon. Japan has invested in this field since mid -decade of 2010shooting in land facilities and designing naval and land versions mounted on trucks. The Ministry of Defense has already shown more compact turret models, designed to integrate into futures 13DDX destroyers or even in the modern ships of the Mayan class. ATLA seeks to improve The useful life of cannons, reduce energy consumption and achieve a viable shooting cadence, objectives that will determine if Railgun goes from being an experimental prototype to a real weapon in the fleet. A weapon for the era of hypersonic threats. In a strategic scenario where China develops long -range missiles and Russia experiences with hypersonic projectilesJapan contemplates the Railgun in response to the saturation of aerial defenses. His speed of shooting, his low projectile cost and his ability to attack VeloS targets make him A possible alternative To interceptor missiles, whose replacement in the sea is almost impossible. This context explains Tokyo’s insistence on maintaining the project despite technical obstacles. Competition and cooperation. Plus: Japan is not alone in this effort. China has been experimenting with Railgunswith the appearance of a prototype on an EPL Navy ship In 2018although its current state is uncertain. Türkiye too He has shown advanceswhile the United States, despite closing its program, is Taking advantage of technology of ammunition developed for land applications. In parallel, Japan has sealed Agreements with France To collaborate in the development of this technology and maintain contacts with the US Navy, opening the door to future cooperation. Strategic reading If the Japanese Railgun exceeds its engineering injuries, it will emerge as the first operational case that converts a technological promise fleetrebalancing the cost-interceptor equation against saturations and rapid threats. The United States could be reached with less friction thanks to its inheritance and a possible cooperation with Tokyo. China would do the same if you see a clear advantage in area denial, and it is possible that Türkiye would capitalize on land and point defense applications. In terms of tendency, everything points to a coexistence: missiles for the long value, railguns for fire volume and shooting cost, and energy weapons directed for terminal/short range, each covering its niche in a multicapa defense architecture. Continuity of military ingenuity. In short, Railgun symbolizes both the attractiveness and difficulties of military innovation. As at other times in history, when gunpowder or guided missiles promised to transform war, the question is not only if technology works, but if can adapt to logistics, costs and strategy of each country. One thing is clear: Japan, with Your demonstration On board Asuka, it is placed at the forefront of a race that is not over, and that could define how naval wars are fought in the second half of the 21st century.

How to load the mobile to avoid accidents according to firefighters in Madrid

by

Let’s tell you How to load your mobile safely To avoid accidents, According to the firefighters of Madrid. Loading your mobile is sure, but that does not mean that accidents do not happen, and those who come in these cases are firefighters, so it is logical that they have detected concrete behaviors that lead to them. That is why The Madrid Security and Emergency Agency has published a series of recommendations for minimize possibilities that misuse of batteries when loading your electronic devices lead to an accident. This applies to both mobiles and tablets and even electric scooters. In addition to these tips, remember that in Xataka Basics we have also taught you How to load your mobile fasterHow to do it maximizing your useful life with The 20/80 ruleeither How to do it when there is no electricity. You also have advice on How to load the mobile at night. Be careful with surfaces One of the first things to take into account when loading the mobile is Be careful with the surface the place where you put them to load. Avoid putting them in a place where they give them the direct light of the Sun, near some device with heat. Come on, nothing to leave them loading on the dashboard of the car in summer or next to a radiator when we are in winter. Neither do you let it carry it on a textile surfacesuch as the bed, a chair or the sofa, and neither close to an easily flammable material such as curtains or cushions. This would make that there is an accident everything accelerated and started to burn. In this aspect, the safest thing is Choose a smooth surface non -fuelone that allows easy ventilation to prevent overheat. In the case of patinetes or electric bikes, it is best to load them outdoors where the dispersion of flammable or toxic gases is facilitated in case of fire. Be careful with the charger you use It is true that technology is increasingly expensive, but using the cheapest charger you find can be dangerous. That is why it is recommended Always use approved loaders. Not only those of the manufacturer itself, but also those of brands with good reputation and that always have security homologation. Nor do you use old loaders who are already deteriorated, however approved they were. In addition, this is important, Disconnect the device when you finish loadingbecause that can lead to overheating. And if when you are going to disconnect the charger you see that it is burning or very hot, again, do not leave it on flammable surfaces or near them. It is also advisable to touch your mobile or device during the load from time to time. If you notice that it is overheating excessivelyyou will have to unplug him and wait for him to return to a normal temperature before starting the load again. This, again, will avoid scares and dislikes. Do not repair the mobile anywhere If something fails on your mobile, do not start opening it and try to repair it on your own. No matter the ability we have, we could always leave something wrong that leads to a bigger problem. That’s why, Repairs must make them a qualified professionalwhat also leaves out that neighbor little hands that makes you quickly. Fume detectors just in case Those who give these advice are firefighters, so it is logical that they also recommend Install smoke detectors in your home. Because sometimes the care you have does not matter, accidents can happen equally, and having a smoke detector can save your life. These devices can warn before a fire occurs, only with the initial smoke, and this It gives you time to act quickly. You can turn off the device or unplug it, and in the event that the fire will start you will have more time to warn of emergency services and evacuate your home.

Now you know how to solve the biggest ship problem

by

On August 26, Starship completed his tenth test flight Ameriting at a precise point of the Indian Ocean. The images emitted live Spacex were impressive: the largest ship in the world was successfully stopped over water after an aggressive re -entry maneuver. However, something else caught attention: A worrying orange strip that walked most of the fuselage. Three small rusty tiles. Shortly after the flight, Elon Musk clarified in his X profile that the orange tone was oxide from test metal tiles on the side of the ship. But it has been Bill Gerstenmaier, a NASA ex -director veteran who works as head of construction and flight reliability of Spacex, who has given all the details. The thermal shield It is still the greenest part of Starship. The current design consists of thousands of ceramic tiles, most in hexagonal form, glued one next to the other without leaving holes. On flight 10 (and on the three previous failed flights, Actually) Spacex placed three metal tiles on the ship to check If they contributed adequate thermal controlsince they would be easier to manufacture and more durable than the ceramics. It turns out that they are not. All that oxide It was created by those three small metal tiles. A failed, but very useful experiment. As you collect Ars TechnicaGerstenmaier told a conference that metal tiles did not work very well. They oxidized extremely fast with atmospheric oxygen. Although metal tiles failed in their target, the experiment was very useful for data collection. He showed that ceramic tiles are still the option to follow for the thermal shield, and helped Spacex rule out an alternative development route without putting the ship at risk, which had enough protection underneath. The interesting thing was the white spots. Although the orange color was the most striking, the most valuable fact for Spacex engineers was in other areas of the thermal shield: white spots that appeared near the nose and other parts of the ship. Musk had already advanced that these spots were due to Isolation of the areas where Spacex had removed tiles deliberately To test Starship’s limits. Gerstenmaier confirmed that they were the remains of an ablative material, derived from that used in Dragon capsules, which in Starship is found everywhere under the tiles. “What this shows us is that the heat is entering between the tiles, it sneaks below, and this ablative structure is consumed. So we learned that we need to seal the tiles.” The solution: seal every tile. Now the main challenge of Starship’s thermal shield is not that tiles detach (a problem that seems solved, since almost all remained in place), but to prevent the incandescent plasma of the reentry from filtering through the tiny together between them. For Spacex, that has been the great learning of flight 10. True to its style of breaking things and iterates fast, the company already has a solution that will test on the next flight. And, how could it be otherwise, they have put a peculiar name: “Crunch Wrap”. It is not a filling like the one used by the space ferry; It is a sealing wrapping around each tile. “It’s like a gift paper that wraps every tile,” Gerstenmaier described. “These tiles are subject mechanically, a robot fits them. When we push the tile, this small gift paper is based around the sides of each one, and then we cut it on the surface.” Back to the ring. After three failed flights, flight 10 has shown that the Starship is again on track. Spacex put the ship to the limit and it responded as planned, threatening just 3 meters from its target. The oxide was the visual test of a discarded path, but what has been learned about the heat leaks paid the way for the next great improvement, bringing a little more closer to make a totally reusable rocket. The plan for flight 11, which could take place in October judging by recent tests in Starbase, is to apply this technique throughout the thermal shield. “We are going to put ‘Crunch Wrap’ everywhere and see if we can get a better seal and performance of the tiles,” Gerstenmaier said.

Openai estimates that it will enter 200,000 million dollars in 2030. The figure, like everything in OpenAi, is extremely ambitious

by

OpenAI has set a target of 200,000 million dollars for 2030, as reported The Information. Your own internal documents reveal that to achieve this you will need multiply by 13 your current income In less than five years. Why is it important. The company is burning billions per month and plans to spend 90,000 million only in R&D by 2030. This represents 45% of its projected income, well above the percentage allocated by large technological ones, which remain mostly between 15% and 30% of their gross benefit, not even their income. If Openai’s income is below the goal, that percentage will be even greater. The figures. Openai expects to move from 13,000 million income at 2024 to 200,000 million in 2030. Its R&D expenditure would be proportionally double that of the most successful technological technological ones, much more mature and settled. To achieve this, it basically depends on large companies continue to invest in generative. If there is A brake on investmenteven if that does not imply the burst of a bubble, OpenAi will have accounting problems. In addition, this projection rises up to only one semester. OpenAI has increased the expected billing by 2030 by the beginning of the year. The big question. Is a business model sustainable where almost half of the income – even the gross benefit – is destined for research and development? If business income does not rise as Openai projects, the company will have a serious problem. Yesterday it was announced Your agreement with Oracle committing to a huge investment level to which you can hardly face except that you change the screws, or to deliver a good part in kind (business use licenses), as Microsoft did with it paying in Azure credits.

“The Clio will never be electric.” And the fault has a whole classic

by

Just a few days ago we moved to a ship on the outskirts of Paris to learn about the new Renault Clio. In a small advance before officially showing it in public during the IAA Mobility of Münichthe French confessed to us all the details of one of the most urban proposals of the brand. So we already knew that the new Renault Clio I would only have a pure combustion engine, one that works with natural gas and a 160 hp hybrid And ridiculous consumption that, of course, is the great star of the range. As we said in the article in which we described our sensations with the new model, which we will lead later, there are two powerful reasons to include this propeller. The first is that with him they get CO2 emissions to be below 93.6 g/km of CO2 that, In 2027, they will make the difference between good and evil. The second is that, before an expected price increase in the model, Renault has chosen to deliver an engine to the height that justifies that (very likely) increasing. “It will never be electric” Renault’s presentation has been welcomed among the public as one would expect. Those who show a greater rejection of the electric car congratulate that a car with combustion engine, low and, although small consumption, is available, the promise of taking you anywhere with solvency if we attend to its 160 hp. On the contrary, there is no lack of who claims an electric version among those who are more prone to the electricity jump. Fabrice Cambolive, new Renault CEO (brand) that has taken the reins in the middle of a general restructuring after Luca de Meo’s departure as general head of the Renault group, has been clear about this movement: “The Renault Clio is not an electric model or will ever be. It is a hybrid model that responds to other needs, including it, “said Cambolive to L’Automobile. In the words collected by the French media, the French brand’s CEO explains that this electricity place is occupied by the Renault R5 and that the captur and the Renault R4 They play a very similar role for those who prefer a SUV option. They are “four segment B cars that we have decided to place in a complementary way (…) have positions, designs, profits and a mixture of completely different customers,” says Cambolive. In his answers, the Renault CEO also suggests that if Renault goes with lead feet before the electric car instead of following messages that talk about this technology as the only one in the future is because the electric market in Europe “is still in its beginnings.” Other reasons must be taken into account. The Renault Clio has been created on a platform designed to host a combustion engine and powerful hybridization, while the Renault 5 has been designed, directly, on a designed platform From scratch to house a completely electric car. Therefore, it is very likely that transforming the clio into an electric and the Renault 5 into one of combustion worse both cars. In general, electric cars mounted on platforms for combustion vehicles have worked badly because their autonomies and load powers have always been more limited than the electric created from scratch. This latest version of the CLIO has been mounted on the CMF-B platform that already mounted the outgoing generation, which allows the French manufacturer for enormous cost savings. What anticipates Cambolive is that if the plans are maintained as expected, the Renault Clio will end up discontinued or, in the best case, on a last platform with plug -in hybridization. Keep in mind that from 2027 the average emissions of the manufacturers They cannot exceed 93.6 gr/km of CO2 If you don’t want to stick to huge fines. This version manages to be below but in 2030 that limit wants to reduce by half, pressing the brands so that the vast majority of their sales are electric or highly electrified, With just space For combustion engines.

The new and radical idea to unravel the mobile

by

We are irremediably hooked on the mobile and has been created an entire industry that intends to “cure”. Manufacturers began to implement functions such as Time of usethere is boring mobiles to use them less and many Tricks to lower that screen time. Several apps have emerged that bet on a new method. One that uses NFC labels. The difference. The objective of these apps is to limit the daily time we spend using the mobile. They allow you to choose the apps that distract us most as Instagram and establish that we can only use them during, for example, half an hour a day. So far it works exactly like the functions that already integrate many manufacturers. The difference is that we can only unlock the apps if we bring the mobile to a physical object. A physical barrier. Time of use in iOS or digital well -being on Android are fine, but if you jump the warning that you have spent a lot of time on Instagram, you can ignore it with a simple tap. The idea of ​​these apps is that, forcing you to bring your mobile closer to an object, a more difficult physical barrier is created. If you carry the tag on top you can do it easily, but if for example you leave it at home when you leave, the thing is complicated and forces you to make a more rational use of the screen time. Apps. There are several apps that bet on the block blocking through a physical object. These are: Brick: It is the most popular app. The ‘Brick’ (in Spanish: brick) is how they have baptized their NFC label, which you can only buy on its website or from the app itself, and has a much larger design than that of a normal NFC label. It costs 61.95 euros, not precisely cheap. The app is free and is available both in iOS as in Android. UNPLUQ: It also has its own NFC label that is bought on its website or from the app. This time it is smaller and can be hung, for example, the keys. The other difference is that its price is 69.95 euros, but it is also the annual subscription. When you finish the period you will have to pay again. Can be downloaded in iOS and in Android. Scrolly: The main differences that instead of a more boring design, the label is a funny doll they have called Scrolly. You can also buy in The web or from the app and its price is 49 euros without subscription. The app is only available in iOS. LOCKED: The best option if you want to try this method without spending just. Has created a amateur developer And it is from open source. Although with a slightly less worked interface, in essence the operation of the app is the same. And the best: it is completely free. You will only have to buy an NFC label, which costs much less. For example this pack carries 50 labels and costs 8.41 euros. Friction. It has surely happened to you. You take the mobile to consult something and, without knowing very well how or why, you end up on Instagram, Tiktok or other devouring attention app. We have the employer memorized perfectly and we repeat it again and again. The idea of ​​these apps and other methods, such as empty the home screenIt is to create friction, that it is difficult for us to find the Instagram icon to stop being automatic and become something intentional, which we have thought and decided to do.

Albania has a Minister of AI. Not a person who manages AI, no. An AI that have appointed Virtual Minister

by

Is called dielle and it will be The new Minister Ia de Albania. It will not be a person, but a virtual minister controlled by an artificial intelligence system. The country becomes the first to raise something like that, and the decision has a lot to do with a theoretical advantage of the machines: with them there is no corruption that is worth. Minister Diella. The new minister (her name means “light of the sun”, in Albanian) will be in charge of managing the public hiring of the State and even has its own avatar in which a middle -aged woman dressed in a traditional Albanian suit is shown. In Spain we do not have an exclusive ministry for these functions, and this competition is part of the Fundamental competences of the Ministry of Finance and Public Function. New team of ministers in Albania. The announcement was made yesterday Thursday Albanian Prime Minister, Edi Rama. Took advantage The Assembly of the Socialist Party to indicate which ministers would leave their position and which would remain in the new mandate (the fourth behind the May elections), but also presented Diella saying “Diella is the first member who is not physically present, but is created virtually by artificial intelligence.” Goodbye to corruption? Rama explained that tenders will cease to be the responsibility of the ministries and will be put in the hands of Diella. The implementation of the AI ​​will be “step by step”, but the intention of Rama is to ensure that public tenders are “100 % incorruptible and that all public funds that pass through the bidding procedure will be 100 % legible.” Possible adhesion to the EU. Corruption has been a problem that Albania has tried to mitigate for years, especially in administration and public tenders. It is something that According to politician It has even been discussed long in the European Union. Albania Tien options to become in EU member country in 2030. AI could become president of Albania. Already during the summer He pointed out To that possibility in saying that the country could have a digital minister and even end up being governed by a prime minister totally based on an AI, but it did not seem likely to move such a fast file. Precedents in Ukraine. In May 2024 the Foreign Minister of Ukraine presented to “Victoria Shi”, a government spokeswoman generated by AI who was dedicated to reading official communications and providing information to the company. The country also launched a public procurement system controlled by an AI that baptized as Prozorro and that is oriented to monitor tenders and detect patterns of possible corruption, something similar to what is now announced by Albania. In Sweden we already knew how Your prime minister uses chatgpt to have “second opinions.” Electronic Government underway. DIELLA will also be a fundamental part of the Albania Electronic Government Platform, called e-albania. This system allows Albanian citizens to perform all kinds of efforts electronically. But. The announcement is striking, but also disturbing for several reasons: Legal and political responsibility. To begin with, an AI cannot assume legal responsibility or accountability. In case of mistakes – and the AI ​​commits them, as we know – or biases, who is sanctioned? Biases and vulnerabilities. Algorithms that govern AI are trained with data that may contain biases and therefore can be contaminated. They can also be exposed to cyber attacks and a manipulation from within.
