Question✕✕✕
How are decisions made?Advisory: randomly recruited citizens deliberate in small groups and answer surveys; the ministry and Executive Yuan decide on policy.Sortition / citizens' assemblyThe Prime Minister is formally responsible for Diella; the Constitutional Court states AI cannot change who exercises public power or bears accountability.Grand Council of 50 chiefs chosen by clan mothers; questions pass between groups of nations, each seeking unanimity, with the Onondaga Firekeepers confirming or resolving disagreement.
How are conflicts resolved?Facilitated small-group discussion with equal speaking time; disagreements are reported rather than forced to consensus.Opposition challenged the decrees before the Constitutional Court, which dismissed the request on 8 October 2026; its full reasoning is pending.The Confederacy describes the Grand Council as resolving disputes among the nations and planning for the welfare of all the people.
How are public goods funded?Public reports on informed citizen preferences about AI, available to legislators, companies and other governments.Aims to improve public-service access and reduce discretion in public procurement.Unknown
How is AI used?AI is the topic; automated moderation manages speaking turns and transcripts; an AI-assisted interactive report summarised 2023 online input.Chatbot and voice assistant on e-Albania; a procurement system tender was still being prepared in August 2026.No documented AI role.
What are the main risks?No binding mandate, agenda set by the convening ministry, selective uptake of results and dependence on trust in government text messages.CLM-0537Unclear accountability for an AI 'minister'; no AI law yet; no published technical detail; AKSHI's leaders face a tender-rigging case.CLM-0359Operates alongside US and Canadian governments, which limits its practical jurisdiction; its rule of unanimity within and between blocs requires broad agreement.CLM-0117CLM-0118

This illustrates differences in design; it is not a universal claim about outcomes. Each cell links to mechanisms and the claims behind them.
