From E-Justice to AI Justice: Albania’s Path Forward - a talk with Tedi Dobi

Описание: In this episode of Monday Bagel, I speak with Tedi Dobi, Deputy Minister of Justice of Albania, about how AI is being introduced into the judiciary and public administration.

Albania is building one of Europe’s most ambitious digital justice systems — combining AI-assisted legal research, fully digitised case management, GDPR-compliant data infrastructure, and strong human oversight. AI supports judges and lawyers, but decisions remain strictly human.

In this episode we discuss:
How AI is used in courts and public administration
GDPR, human rights and EU standards in judicial AI
Training judges, lawyers and public officials
Lessons from Albania’s step-by-step approach to digital justice
