Putin talks to his AI double

Russian President Vladimir Putin held a conversation with his "double" during his annual conference.

Through a video conference, Vladimir Putin, generated by artificial intelligence, asks the real Putin a question.

"Vladimir Vladimirovich, hello, I am a student at St. Petersburg State University. I would like to ask, is it true that you have many doubles? What is your opinion about the dangers of artificial intelligence?" the "double" asked.

The President of Russia replied:

"You can talk like me, with my voice, but I have come to the conclusion that only one person can talk like me and use my voice, and that would be me," Putin said. He added that artificial intelligence was his "first twin".

"As for whether we should be afraid of artificial intelligence or not, preventing the technology from advancing is impossible. Unless we can prevent it, we must guide and manage the process. But no one knows how far we will go," Vladimir Putin added. /BGNES
