French President Emmanuel Macron used AI-generated videos with Deepfake to publish the start of the AI Action summit in Paris.
In the video posted in his social media accounts, Macron responds to the installation of deep videos about himself in popular films and series, saying “Beautifully done”.
Over the last few months, French social media have been distributed by a macron inserted into popular media.
In October, he said Variety that Deepfakes “could become a form of persecution” for some people.

“But more seriously, with artificial intelligence, we can do a few very big things: to change health care, energy, life in our society,” the 47-year-old president said.
He adds: “France and Europe should be at the heart of this revolution to take advantage of any opportunity, as well as to promote our own principles.”
A video It was located before the two -day AI World Summit starting from Paris on Monday.
The purpose of the summit is to unite the world leaders, heads of technology and scientists to study the influence of the II on society, management and environment.
“President Macron’s Deepfake may seem harmless to promote the AI summit in Paris, but this is not a good thing at all,” says Paul McCay, the chief analyst at the Forrest technology company.
“Normalization of deep groups should not be encouraged in this way because it continues the difficulty if you say what is real and what is not, and ultimately helps to establish what a fact is.”
D -R Richard Whitl from Salford Business School also warns of the risk of “normalization” videos with depths, both in social media and scammers. ”
He adds: “It is great to draw attention to this threat, but to do it in a way to show how easy it is to risk their risks more adopting them.”

But he adds: “These videos are often released when the guidelines for public communication are not clear.”
In French media, there have been some discussions on whether Macron Trivializing Deepfake’s video should be used for harm.
In October, Macron said Variety Deep “can misinform what our democracy can upset.”

The recently implemented law on II, which regulates the use of artificial intelligence, has faced criticism at the summit for suppressing innovation.
The block also presented plans all over Europe, with an open source AI with a budget of 37.4 million euros (£ 31.1 million).
The global declaration of common goals of the II and ethical duties must be revealed at the end of the summit tomorrow.
