Macron's Unconventional Video Sparks Social Media Buzz
French President Emmanuel Macron's latest social media post has caused a stir as he is seen dancing, braiding his hair, and even rapping in a montage video. The artificial intelligence-edited footage features Macron showcasing his moves to the hit song 'Voyage voyage' with a lion's mane hairstyle from the 1980s. In a playful nod to the upcoming Artificial Intelligence Action Summit in Paris, Macron takes on the role of a hairstylist, impersonates French artist Nekfeu by rapping, and even mimics actor Jean Dujardin from the spy parody film OSS117. Macron's caption 'Well played' accompanies the video, receiving over 216k likes on Instagram.
Emphasizing the transformative power of AI, Macron aims to raise awareness on the impact of artificial intelligence before the summit. He stresses the potential of AI in revolutionizing healthcare, energy, and societal norms, advocating for Europe to lead the AI revolution by upholding principles. Macron dismisses the notion of an AI race between the US and China, urging a collaborative approach to harness AI's capabilities.
The video, which features a playful depiction of Macron as the iconic TV character Angus MacGyver, garnered praise on social media with users dubbing him 'cool president' and expressing surprise at his unexpected talents. While some lauded the video as entertaining, others shared edited images in response, including a Spider-Man version of Macron.
Addressing concerns over potential copyright issues amid proposed changes in France's copyright laws, the video was deemed harmless and focused on entertainment rather than political messaging. Macron's commitment to the AI sector is further highlighted in an interview, where he reveals France's plan to invest 109 billion Euros in AI over the coming years, positioning the country as a key player in the global AI landscape.
