Can AI Clean Up Albanian Politics?

Albania plans to use AI in government to fight corruption, and may even allow AI to run a full ministry in the future.

  • Prime Minister Edi Rama suggested that AI could replace corrupt ministers and improve transparency.

  • Albania, with 2.7 million people, hopes models like ChatGPT can reduce nepotism and conflicts of interest.

  • The country has strong AI ties, as Mira Murati, former CTO of OpenAI, is Albanian-American and now runs a $2B AI startup.

If Albania succeeds, it could become the first country in the world to let AI govern at the ministerial level, setting a bold example of how technology might reshape politics and fight corruption worldwide.

Nano-Banana: Google’s Secret AI?

A mysterious new AI model called Nano-Banana has appeared on the LMArena platform.

Without any official launch, it has surprised users with its powerful ability to create and edit images with high precision. Many believe it might secretly belong to Google.

  • No official release: Nano-Banana appeared quietly on LMArena without ads or campaigns.

  • Impressive skills: It can follow multi-step text prompts, combine different images, edit details like faces, clothes, and lighting while keeping the scene consistent.

  • Speculation on origin: Strong signs suggest Google is behind it, as the style matches Google’s previous models and the company often uses fruit names for secret projects.

If Nano-Banana is truly a Google project, its advanced editing abilities could reshape the competition in AI image generation. Despite some flaws like visual glitches and anatomy mistakes, the model shows what the next generation of AI image tools might look like.
