The revelation is significant insofar as it targets one of President Javier Milei’s main policies. The brief identified an additional four “risks” to Argentina: lack of economic opportunity or unemployment, economic downturn (e.g., recession, stagnation), inequality (wealth, income), and social polarization. Last year, right-wing PRO party leader and former Argentine President Mauricio Macri (2015-2019) denounced a deepfake AI video that spread on social media. The footage falsely depicted him encouraging the public to vote for presidential spokesman Manuel Adorni in the Buenos Aires City legislative elections. Macri took to his own social media channels to condemn the video, calling the matter “an attempt at electoral fraud” conducted by ruling party La Libertad Avanza.
