"Coup in France", as a video made with AI "gave Emmanuel Macron a

A video created with Artificial Intelligence, falsely claiming that a coup had taken place in France and that President Emmanuel Macron had been overthrown, has reached over 12 million views on Facebook, causing widespread international concern.

The French president said he learned of his “downfall” through a message from an African counterpart, who wrote to him in alarm and sent him a link to the video. The footage showed a military helicopter, armed troops, crowds of people and a news anchor declaring that there were “unofficial reports of a coup in France.”

In reality, none of this was true. The video was produced entirely with AI.

After discovering the fake content, Macron requested the intervention of Pharos, the official French portal for reporting illegal online content, which contacted Meta. However, Meta refused to delete the video, arguing that it did not violate the platform's rules of use.

Forced to intervene personally, Macron declared that even direct pressure on his part had no effect: "These people are mocking us. They don't care about democracy and they are putting us at risk," the French president said.

Who is behind the video? The video was originally posted by a Facebook account called “Islam,” which has no religious content. It was created by a teenager from Burkina Faso, who makes money by offering online courses on how to monetize Artificial Intelligence. He removed the video more than a week after it was posted, following political and public backlash. Euronews’ fact-checking team, “The Cube,” tried to contact him several times, but was unsuccessful.

Some of the similar videos feature the Radio France Internationale (RFI) logo, while others bear the “Sora” watermark, indicating that they were created with Sora 2, a technology developed by OpenAI. Sora 2 allows the creation of hyper-realistic videos of up to 10 seconds from text descriptions. Since its launch in October, this technology has sparked heated debates, due to the massive spread of fake videos, which are increasingly difficult to distinguish from real content. The case has raised the alarm about the risk that Artificial Intelligence poses to democracy, security and the reliability of information on social networks.
