During a recent speech on the challenges of state-building and justice, Prime Minister Rama emphasized that technology and artificial intelligence are key to accelerating institutional development.
This new technological era, according to the Chief Executive, is expected to shorten decades of work on building a functional state.
According to Rama, history has proven that instant justice, which once translated into extreme punishments like “a bullet in the forehead or the guillotine,” is not a long-term solution.
The only way to protect the future of generations, he said, remains democracy, the balance of powers, and the creation of a system that guarantees the rights of everyone, including the accused.
Rama further emphasized that building a strong state is not based on noisy episodes. The latter, although they may help temporarily, do not form a sustainable system. The true basis of state-building lies in the set of steps taken patiently and in silence.
What will make the difference and help overcome the time needed to set up the system at an unusual speed is the incorporation of artificial intelligence. Taking the example of France’s highly structured public administration, it was implied that the integration of technology will be the main mechanism for a radical transformation of institutions.
PART OF RAMA’S SPEECH
… From the idea of instant justice and the bullet to the head or the guillotine, they have taught us that this idea of democracy and the balancing of powers and the construction of a system that guarantees everyone, and even guarantees the accused, is the only way to guarantee generations.
Why am I lingering on this point? Because I want to be very clear with everyone from my experience. I believe that I have the opportunity today from the top of this experience, which is already quite a few years old, to say that at the end of the day what is important for state-building is not the episode, but the set of steps that are taken patiently and quietly. Noisy episodes help in one way or another, but they do not make the system. And my belief for… why Albania can overcome with extraordinary speed what is the time necessary to build the system, is related to only one fact.
With the fact that Albania today has the fortune to live in the era of technology and artificial intelligence. France, the ambassador is there, has one of the most structured public administrations on the planet.
