00:00How has AI content targeted France's president?
00:20France's president Emmanuel Macron discovered his own supposed overthrow
00:25after a concerned unnamed African leader reached out to him off the back of the video,
00:29which you have just seen.
00:31The thing is, it's AI generated.
00:34Dimanche,
00:36là ,
00:38on m'envoie,
00:39depuis l'étranger,
00:41un de mes collègues africains, pour tout vous dire,
00:43un message Facebook.
00:46Et il me dit,
00:48cher président, qu'est-ce qui se passe chez vous ? Je suis très inquiet.
00:51On envoie un message Facebook,
00:53crise agricole, etc.
00:54On voit une journaliste qui est à côté de l'Elysée, etc.
00:57Il y a eu un coup d'État en France,
00:59un colonel a pris le pouvoir, etc.
01:01Although Macron personally asked Meta,
01:03which owns Facebook,
01:04to take the video down,
01:05the organisation did not.
01:07Mais ces gens-là se moquent de nous.
01:10Ils se foutent de la sérénité des débats publics,
01:13ils se moquent de la souveraineté des démocraties,
01:16et donc ils nous mettent en danger.
01:18The original video was posted on the 9th of December
01:21by this Facebook account,
01:23before being deleted more than a week later.
01:25Lots of the AI-generated news anchors
01:27seem to have been created with the help of Sora.
01:30The person running the account appears to be a teenager
01:33based in Burkina Faso,
01:34who makes money from offering AI tutorials.
01:37We tried to reach out to them on multiple occasions,
01:40but so far our calls have gone unanswered.
01:43We'll see you next time.
