In a video posted in his social networks accounts, Macron responds to a deep video assembly about yourself in popular films and TV series, saying “beautifully done”.
Macron’s videos in the popular media, using AI, have been circulating on French social media in the last few months.
In October, he told Variety that Deepfakes “for some people can be a form of harassment.”
Some experts have examined the use of Deepfakes, saying that normalizing them makes it difficult to spot fake news.
The video, which he saw millions of times on Instagram president, X and Tictok accounts, shows him inserted in the 1980 hit disco hit, an influencer hair textbook and Action Hero Macgyver TV show.
Videos like these have been popular for some time in French social media, so Macron admitted that he became meme among some circles on social networks.

“But more serious, with artificial intelligence, we can do some very great things: to change health, energy, life in our society.” said the 47-year-old president.
He adds: “France and Europe must be at the center of this revolution to take every opportunity and also promote their own principles.”
AND video It was published on the eve of a two -day global AI meeting in Paris on Monday.
The aim of the Summit is to unite world leaders, technical executives and academics to examine the influence of AI on society, management and the environment.
“Deepfake President Macron may look like a harmless party to promote the AI summit in Paris, but this is not generally a good thing,” says Paul McKay, VP and the main analyst at the Forrester Technology Counseling.
“Normalizing the deep stages in this way should not be encouraged because it continues to have difficulty in that it is real and what it is not, in the end, it helps to determine what the fact is from fiction.”
Dr. Richard Little of Salford Business School also warns of the risk of “normalizing” the video of Deepfakes “, both on social media and fraud.”
He adds: “It’s great to draw attention to this threat, but to do it in a way that shows how easy it is to create Deepfakes risks their wider adoption.”
Professor Philip Howard, president of the International Information Environment Panel, says AI is increasingly used “in innovative, sometimes playful ways, which shows the recent video of President Macron.”
But he adds: “Supportable videos are often published when public communication guidelines are not clear.”
In the French media, there was a discussion of whether Macron should trivialize Deepfake videos when they can be used for damage.
In October Macron said Diversity Deepfakes “can disinformed, which can upset our democracy.”
He said they should be regulated by “imposing responsibility to the people who spread this content to moderate it.”
The newly implemented EU Law, which regulates the use of artificial intelligence, has faced criticism on the summit to suffocate innovation.
The block also discovered plans for the AI model open code in Europe with a budget of € 37.4 million (£ 31m).
The global declaration on the common goals of AI and ethical responsibilities should be discovered at the end of the summit tomorrow.
