AI to fast-track Albania's EU Integration, says Rama

Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama highlighted the benefits Albania will gain from applying artificial intelligence in the negotiation process with the European Union.

The Prime Minister was present at the Franco-Albanian week for Artificial Intelligence, Green AI, where he stressed that Albania has made great progress in the European integration process and aims to become a member within this decade, CE Report quotes Kosova Press.

"We have a very ambitious plan with the European Commission to conclude the negotiations by 2027, it is an extraordinary window of opportunity that we must do everything we can not to miss. By using artificial intelligence we are doing this work at a completely different speed because Just to transpose the EU legal corpus, even mechanically, into the national legislative corpus would require an army of translators, drafters and law writers and many other people," the Prime Minister said.

The Prime Minister recalled that for Croatia, which actually had an impressive record, it took 7 years to become a member of the EU.

"We want to do it faster. We are creating a model that not only transposes in real time but also gives us compliance with our legislation. It is also capable of giving those people who have to prepare everything for the government and parliament the ability to see the similarities or discrepancies between what we have here and what comes from the EU," said Rama.

The Prime Minister emphasized that this is the model being implemented in the Ministry of Justice where they are digging through massive piles of laws to identify all overlaps.

"It is not uncommon that something you deserve to receive from one law cannot be received because another law says no. This is an extraordinary work that is being done through artificial intelligence," said Rama.
