  • Albi Nani

摘要

In December 2023, Albania announced that its public administration would be using ChatGPT to accelerate its application to join the European Union. While digital governance scholars have frequently assessed cases involving the use of AI in the public sector, the Albanian case represents a unique study as it is among the first governments to explicitly use Generative AI in a key role within public administration. However, the proposed use-cases of translation and document summary do not directly address the real concerns withholding Albania from the EU, namely the lack of a healthy democracy typical of a post-communist state, demonstrating that the government may be succumbing to technological solutionism. This brief communication will provide background on the Albanian case, describing Albania’s historic progress with digital governance and assessing how effective ChatGPT may be in enhancing the country’s public administration. This offers digital governance researchers a base to pursue further research on the use of ChatGPT in Albania’s journey to join the EU, and the broader use of Generative AI in the public sector.
