There’s a video circulating online that opens with a little girl sitting by a rainy window. She asks her mom where dad is and when he will come back. The mother answers “soon”. The rain keeps pouring in the next scene, in which a man, whom we assume to be the child’s father, is executed with a single gunshot by a soldier. The voice-over continues, while his daughter’s picture slips from the pocket to the mud: “Do not let others decide the fate of our family. April 12, 2026. War takes everything away from everyone. Let’s not take any chances! Fidesz is the safe choice.”
La professeure Catherine Régis, chercheuse au CRDP et directrice de l’innovation sociale et des politiques internationales d’IVADO, dans une publication récente de La Presse consacrée aux liens entre intelligence artificielle et démocratie, met en lumière les risques croissants que pose l’usage de l’IA en contexte électoral. Elle souligne notamment la facilité avec laquelle des contenus trompeurs, comme les hypertrucages, peuvent être créés à faible coût, contribuant à fragiliser la confiance du public et le processus démocratique.
