This is getting scary.

I recently came across a video of Captain Ibrahim Traoré giving what appeared to be a formal interview. The link is later in this article as long as the link stays live.

Traore was composed, confident, and surprisingly fluent in English. At first glance, the video seemed like an important moment.

A rare chance to hear directly from one of the most talked-about leaders in Africa.

But something about it felt strange.

There was no visible interviewer.

No moments of exchange. Just a series of clean responses, edited together without context. After watching for a few minutes, I began to question what I was seeing.

It was in fact fake. Or rather, more accurately, a re imagining.

It was generated using artificial intelligence.

An interview he did give in French to Russian media years ago was re purposed and an english translation imposed on his mouth using a cloned version of his voice. At least that is what I could tell from the footage.

So yes, the face and sitting footage was real, but taken from a different situation.

This moment should give us pause. Not because A.I. exists, but because it is now being used to shape the public perception of real people without their knowledge or consent.

This is a time in the pan African movement where messaging is everything. We are in a battle for the narrative that we’ve not controlled in centuries.

Something that is to our detriment.

Now this new resurgence towards autonomy is in grave danger.

I am now going to bring the A.I. Question to my The IIIH (300) community and discuss creating something to help Africans stay in step with the A.I. Revolution.

We must not get left behind again so stay tuned for something to help you all understand exactly how A.I. Works and how it can improve your lives.

The following are my thoughts on why I feel this Traore A.I. Is a sign of great danger for the pan African mindset and people, what this threat of A.I. could mean, who could be behind this and what you can do to protect yourselves from manipulation.

Due to the details, posts like the one below, are best read on a desktop/laptop browser on my Substack website.
