A shocking video claiming that a coup d’état had taken place in France spread rapidly across the internet, racking up millions of views. The problem? None of it was real.
The video, generated using artificial intelligence, featured a fake news anchor announcing that President Emmanuel Macron had been overthrown. Despite being entirely fabricated, the clip circulated widely before platforms reacted.
In a new episode of Break The Fake, Jonasz Rewiński breaks down how the fake coup was created, why it looked so convincing, and what it reveals about the growing threat of AI-generated disinformation.
The episode also explores the broader consequences for democracy when viral fake content stays online, shapes public perception, and spreads faster than the truth can catch up.
