Question+ Model
How are decisions made?Self-managed workers' and consumers' councils and their federations; annual iterative planning.The Prime Minister is formally responsible for Diella; the Constitutional Court states AI cannot change who exercises public power or bears accountability.
How are conflicts resolved?Planning rounds of proposals and revisions, facilitated by a board, until a feasible plan emerges.Opposition challenged the decrees before the Constitutional Court, which dismissed the request on 8 October 2026; its full reasoning is pending.
How are public goods funded?Authors claim the planning procedure handles externalities and public goods equitably and efficiently.Aims to improve public-service access and reduce discretion in public procurement.
How is AI used?No documented AI role.Chatbot and voice assistant on e-Albania; a procurement system tender was still being prepared in August 2026.
What are the main risks?Time costs of repeated planning rounds; local-knowledge limits; influence concentrating in facilitators.CLM-0323Unclear accountability for an AI 'minister'; no AI law yet; no published technical detail; AKSHI's leaders face a tender-rigging case.CLM-0359
