Loïc Signor, spokesperson for Renaissance, hijacked Marine Le Pen’s wishes by making the National Rally MP speak in Russian, using Artificial Intelligence. Dorian Dreuil, political scientist, expert associated with the J.Jaurès foundation and member of the Observatory of Political Life, was the guest of 19/20 info.
Marine Le Pen’s wishes were hijacked by Loïc Signor, spokesperson for Renaissance. With the help of an AI, Marine Le Pen appears speaking in Russian. “What is damaging is that it hides the Washington Post investigation which establishes strong links between the language elements of the Kremlin and the National Rally (…) this video is completely counterproductive”estimates Dorian Dreuil, political scientist, expert associated with the J.Jaurès foundation and member of the Observatory of Political Life.
A danger for democracy
According to him, in terms of political communication strategy, this video allows the National Rally to find a “victim posture”. The political scientist fears that this artificial intelligence could be used to weaken democracy and the electoral process in Europe, a few months before the European elections. “It’s going to be a special campaign (…) there’s going to be a very strong political issue, in which we must hope that the various political leaders raise the level of the debate”believes Dorian Dreuil.
