The woman fighting to reclaim her face from Albania's 'AI minister | AFP

In early 2025, Albanian actress Anila Bisha agreed to lend her face and voice to a virtual assistant for an online government services portal — aimed at helping people navigate bureaucracy.

But a few months later, she was shocked when she saw the government’s new AI-generated minister “Diella” used her likeness. Bisha says it was done without her knowledge or consent and has now launched a legal fight.
