Question+ Model
How are decisions made?A Grand Master elected for ten years by the Council Complete of State, a Sovereign Council and a Chapter General, under the 2022 Constitutional Charter.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?Magistral courts within the Order; in crises the Holy See has intervened, as in 2017; diplomatic negotiation with states.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?Hospitals, ambulance services, care and emergency relief in many countries, funded by donations, public contracts and grants.Aims to improve public-service access and reduce discretion in public procurement.
How is AI used?No specific role for AI.Chatbot and voice assistant on e-Albania; a procurement system tender was still being prepared in August 2026.
What are the main risks?Dependence on recognition and on the Holy See; internal governance disputes; confusion with imitation orders.CLM-0452Unclear accountability for an AI 'minister'; no AI law yet; no published technical detail; AKSHI's leaders face a tender-rigging case.CLM-0359
