Albania appoints AI-created minister

World Business Report

Available for over a year

Albania appoints a minister to root out corruption, but is it just a PR stunt or could it really make a difference to how the county is run? We speak to Albania’s Prime Minister, Edi Rama, about the new appointment. We also ask whether funding for the Eurovision Song Contest is under threat as nations threaten to pull out over the war in Gaza. And one of the world’s most popular rappers, Bad Bunny, has added millions to Puerto Rico’s economy since July. We hear from a journalist about the artist’s impact on the island.
