Mira Murati and Edi Rama

Prime Minister Edi Rama, together with Minister Delina Ibrahimaj, have visited the technology and information company "RiTech". This company works for America and Europe, employing 300 citizens in Albania, 200 in Kosovo and North Macedonia, with an average salary of 2,500 euros, as announced by the Prime Minister.

Special emphasis was placed on the development of the technology and information sector in the country, a main pillar which is increasingly improving in our country.

Minister Ibrahimaj explained that the reason they are visiting this company is because it is a concrete example of this government's work for young people and the information sector.

"The company was founded in 2016. They are young guys, average age 30 years. I chose to come here because it is a concrete example of how the technology and information sector has developed in Albania. The average salary is 2500 euros on average. It is a very well-paid job, for a company that produces, produces knowledge, exports, discovers talents. An example that we read with great pride. It is a sector that we have promoted", said Minister Ibrahimaj.

The socialist leader expressed his desire to collaborate with the RiTech company regarding the parking system in the country, as parking is a significant problem. Rama said that he wants the "pay by phone" application, through artificial intelligence, to also have a camera system that facilitates finding parking spaces, just as it notifies blue uniforms about the occupation of a space by a specific vehicle.

Another goal is to use this technology to predict accidents, but also crimes.

"We will do a project that we have ready, financed and everything, with the United Arab Emirates for smart monitors. We will practically have super information from all the movement in the city. I think that maybe we need a collaboration with you on this pay by phone, to be integrated with cameras, to be used by the police... having this camera system with AI available, you can create a lot of data. You create a base that you warn "law enforcements". You don't wait for it to be occupied here, but you notify it that it is occupied (the parking space).

With AI, you create a data capacity that is given to you little by little, but not too late, with a reasonable time, so that you can decide in advance where the violation may occur. And to take it a step further, we can see with you, the prediction of accidents. So it creates a basis, and with data it begins to create probabilities. You start giving "law enforcements" to analyze why it will happen here, what are the specific circumstances that happen here and not there. And to take it to the most extreme level, to predict crimes. If you have a pattern, you start to do analysis of a different nature," said Rama.

Rama also expressed the idea of ??Albania being a co-financier of Mira Murati's newest start-up in the field of artificial intelligence called Thinking Machines Lab, an initiative that has attracted global interest and attention.

"The time has come for us to enter companies, for the state to come in and finance and benefit. As I spoke with Mira Murati, I asked her if it was possible for us to join. She said definitely. She told me that there are three countries that have made me an offer. The time has come for us to enter this game, because even in our case with our companies, even a start-up is good for helping in phase A when the other one has nothing and only an idea. We cooperate, so that you have a product that you can use wherever you want. And in the end, the state costs less. I told her that you will help Albania join the EU? She remembered that I was joking. I told her I am serious. I told her that as far as I understand, you can help us join the EU faster. The part that you have not forgotten at all with the EU is to take 250 thousand pages, turn them over and bring them here. We were also prepared like that, all countries when negotiations begin create an army with translator. The second thing I said is, will you help Albania fight corruption? I said procurement. We have created a system where you can no longer release the terms of reference to the public without going through the Public Procurement Agency, but it is still manual. We started with this," Rama said.

Albania is using artificial intelligence in the translation and unification of European legislation as part of the opening of a group of chapters.

Rama has indicated that he was the one who called Mira Murat to ask for help in this process.

This collaboration initiated with Ms. Murati, according to what Edi Rama declared today, is intended to be taken forward through possible funding of Thinking Machines Lab, thus making our country a co-shareholder in this platform.
