French President Emmanuel Macron has sparked discussions ahead of the Paris AI Summit by using AI-generated parody videos to promote the event.

The summit, co-hosted by France and India, gathers global leaders to address the promises and risks of artificial intelligence.

Macron's playful use of deepfakes, featuring himself in humorous scenarios, highlights both the creative potential and ethical dilemmas of AI.

While Macron emphasizes the transformative power of AI in fields like healthcare and energy, critics warn of the dangers of misinformation and identity manipulation.

The President has pledged €109 billion in AI investments, aiming to position France as a European leader in the field.

The summit seeks to balance innovation with regulation, ensuring AI's benefits are harnessed responsibly.
