Albania’s AI minister ‘Dila’ is ‘pregnant’: Palki Sharma on PM Edi Rama’s Rs 83 digital aid plan
In this special report, Firstpost Managing Editor Palki Sharma Upadhyay details a ‘bizarre’ but important announcement from Albania. Prime Minister Edi Rama has announced that the country’s AI-generated minister, Della (referred to as Della/DLR in the transcript), is ‘pregnant’ with 83 digital assistants. These AI ‘children’ will act as personal assistants to each Socialist Party MP, recording parliamentary proceedings and briefing MPs on missed discussions. Sharma explains that DILA, developed with Microsoft, was promoted to a cabinet-level role to ensure transparency in public procurement. The report explores whether such AI-powered governance can be replicated in India.

Special Report: Colossal Biosciences claims resurrection of extinct dire wolf
In this special report, an unidentified speaker details US-based Colossal Biosciences’ claims to have ‘successfully revived the threatened wolf’. The company reportedly used ancient DNA and gene-editing technology to create three dogs named Romulus, Remus and Khaleesi. Born between October 2024 and January 2025, these animals are described as ‘essentially a hybrid species’ with traits of an extinct predator. The report highlights the scientific process involving the 20 genetic edits to the gray wolf genome, but also notes the scientific community’s ethical concerns and doubts about whether the species has truly been reincarnated.

That was never a big factor in life…it’s quite a boring thing.
Saudi Arabia ends decades-old Kafala system: Historic win for 25 lakh Indians

The reforms, part of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s Vision 2030, affect about 13 million migrant workers, including more than 25 lakh Indians. Previously, this system tied a worker’s residence and status to his or her employer, often leading to exploitation and ‘modern slavery’. Under the new contract-based framework, employees can now change jobs and leave the country without the sponsor’s permission. However, critics warn that domestic workers remain unsafe.
