[00:02:36] Within the framework of the continuous development dynamic that the
[00:02:39] Kingdom is witnessing, the Mohammed VI Tower on the banks of the Bou
[00:02:42] Regreg River in Rabat represents an exceptional architectural masterpiece and
[00:02:46] one of the tallest towers in the African continent, with a height
[00:02:49] of approximately 250 meters. This innovative
[00:02:52] cultural landmark is not only a unique engineering achievement,
[00:02:55] but also embodies the supreme
[00:02:58] lofty and fall within this royal vision of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, may God protect him, in
[00:03:01] modernizing the infrastructure of the capital, Rabat, and consolidating Morocco's
[00:03:05] position as a leading economic and tourist hub and a shining
[00:03:08] destination for investment at the continental and international levels. Mehdi Mohib,
[00:03:15] recently with the region, both in terms of migration Omar Ait Issa and Abdel Ilah Aqlour. The Mohammed VI Tower
[00:03:19] is not just a towering architectural landmark that challenges the clouds,
[00:03:23] but a living embodiment of a farsighted royal vision
[00:03:26] led by His Majesty King Mohammed VI, may God grant him victory,
[00:03:30] to establish a Morocco of challenge and innovation. An exceptional
[00:03:34] landmark that reflects a supreme royal will
[00:03:37] to make the Kingdom a civilizational and architectural beacon
[00:03:41] that looks to the future
[00:03:43] to another. However, with confidence and
[00:03:44] dimension and respect for international law. This pride.
[00:03:48] With its towering height and streamlined design that mimics the shape
[00:03:51] of a rocket on its platform, the Mohammed VI Tower represents an engineering
[00:03:55] marvel that combines the pinnacle of technological development
[00:03:59] and environmental friendliness. The tower is covered with smart
[00:04:02] glass facades that provide natural ventilation
[00:04:05] and is equipped with advanced solar panels that cover
[00:04:08] a significant portion of its energy needs, making it
[00:04:11] a global model for the new generation of sustainable
[00:04:14] buildings that have obtained the highest international environmental
[00:04:18] certifications.
[00:04:22] as a transit country And this position falls within The project extends over an area of 100,000 square meters
[00:04:25] in employment. There are some and has a height of 250 meters
[00:04:27] with 55 floors.
[00:04:30] This project will also provide 450 direct
[00:04:33] job opportunities and will contribute to the rayonnement of Moroccan expertise
[00:04:37] and excellence at the international
[00:04:38] level.
[00:04:41] Inside, we discover a complete vertical city
[00:04:45] distributed over 55 floors, from
[00:04:48] luxurious hotels and offices and business
[00:04:51] centers to upscale
[00:04:53] that today manage residential accommodations. This masterpiece is crowned
[00:04:56] with an observation deck at the top that offers visitors a view
[00:05:00] that reveals the details of Rabat, Salé and the ocean in a breathtaking scene.
[00:05:04] breathtaking.
[00:05:10] fall victim to this
[00:05:14] The Mohammed VI Tower, which is the largest tower at the national
[00:05:18] level and the third African tower, is
[00:05:21] a complex and successful building that will enable
[00:05:25] it to attract international projects and companies. So it will
[00:05:29] be a business landmark for the city
[00:05:31] of Rabat.
[00:05:35] And at night, the Mohammed VI Tower
[00:05:38] transforms into a captivating light beacon, remaining
[00:05:41] a living testament to a developing Morocco
[00:05:44] that innovates and builds its future with confidence and stability.
[00:06:00] The Mohammed VI Tower is something historic for contemporary
[00:06:04] Morocco. And with the wise vision of His
[00:06:08] Majesty King Mohammed VI, may God grant him victory, and its addition.
[00:06:12] It will further the progress
[00:06:15] of Morocco forward.
[00:06:18] The view is beautiful and people
[00:06:21] here will like it.
[00:06:24] Honestly, we don't see this view from here now. Even from home,
[00:06:28] I see it from inside the city. Everyone in the city
[00:06:30] the roof.
[00:06:33] The construction of this edifice comes as a cornerstone in the massive royal project
[00:06:37] to develop the banks of the Bou Regreg valley, where the banks
[00:06:41] have been transformed into enchanting environmental spaces where the sprawling
[00:06:44] gardens harmonize with the magic of modern lighting that illuminates
[00:06:48] its terraces at night in a unique
[00:06:51] visual masterpiece.
[00:06:56] A Moroccan diplomatic source reported that Morocco, in accordance
[00:07:00] with the supreme royal instructions to the Ministries
[00:07:03] involved in identifying unaccompanied minors with the aim of
[00:07:09] context, he stressed that the Kingdom of Morocco is ready to coordinate with
[00:07:12] its Spanish and European partners in order to repatriate unaccompanied
[00:07:15] minors. The same source expressed regret
[00:07:19] that every time the discussion about migration is renewed,
[00:07:22] voices accuse Morocco of not cooperating
[00:07:26] and not wanting to repatriate these unaccompanied
[00:07:29] minors, as is exactly the case in this situation in
[00:07:33] Spain. He clarified that some political actors exploit
[00:07:36] this issue for electoral purposes, while the reality
[00:07:40] is different and has no relation to these insinuations. According
[00:07:43] to the diplomatic source, these claims are false
[00:07:47] and unfounded, adding that Morocco
[00:07:50] always fulfills its obligations and the problem lies every
[00:07:53] time in the administrative and judicial obstacles that
[00:07:57] hinder any repatriation process. The same source stressed
[00:08:00] that the Kingdom of Morocco cannot under any circumstances
[00:08:04] accept the use of this pretext as a political bargaining chip to say
[00:08:07] that it refuses to cooperate or does not pay attention to this
[00:08:11] issue. He also confirmed that if the partners
[00:08:14] wish to work to facilitate this repatriation,
[00:08:17] they must carry out internal work
[00:08:20] to be able to overcome the obstacles imposed by
[00:08:24] their legislation and their administrative
[00:08:26] and judicial authorities
[00:08:28] regarding this
[00:08:38] process. To discuss this topic, we are joined live from Casablanca
[00:08:41] by Dr. Abdel Latif Komat, university professor and economic
[00:08:44] expert. In accordance with the supreme
[00:08:48] royal instructions to the Ministries of Interior and Foreign Affairs, Morocco
[00:08:52] has been involved in identifying unaccompanied minors
[00:08:55] with the aim of repatriating them, and it is ready to coordinate with
[00:08:59] its Spanish and European partners in order
[00:09:01] to do so. Where does the importance of Morocco's fulfillment
[00:09:05] of its obligations in the migration file lie, and how do some
[00:09:09] administrative and judicial obstacles hinder repatriation operations?
[00:09:12] Dr. Komat,
[00:09:13] yes.
[00:09:19] This is considered a renewal of Morocco's
[00:09:22] full commitments to cooperate with the European Union
[00:09:25] and with Spain to deal with
[00:09:28] unaccompanied minors.
[00:09:33] the supreme royal instructions that
[00:09:36] call for a position and a
[00:09:40] responsible handling of this file
[00:09:42] within the framework of the royal initiative
[00:09:45] that gave great importance
[00:09:48] to migration issues. The royal position has been known
[00:09:52] since 2013, through
[00:09:55] the royal initiative that wisely dealt with
[00:09:58] migration problems. Today, Morocco
[00:10:02] adheres to the laws
[00:10:06] this file, so that Morocco calls for respect
[00:10:09] for the law and for taking into account the best interests
[00:10:13] of children. So today there are judicial
[00:10:16] and administrative procedures in European
[00:10:20] countries that cause some difficulties. But
[00:10:23] from Morocco's perspective, Morocco's position is a positive position,
[00:10:27] a position willing to cooperate, as has always been the case,
[00:10:31] smoothly, but with respect for legal
[00:10:34] controls and human rights in general, and children's
[00:10:37] rights in particular. Morocco
[00:10:40] commitment to responsible partnerships, but each
[00:10:43] party must take its responsibility, as there
[00:10:47] is responsibility for countries of origin, transit countries, and host
[00:10:52] must be dealt with within the framework
[00:10:55] of partnership and shared responsibility by all parties. Otherwise, Morocco
[00:10:59] today, as it has always been, is involved
[00:11:02] positively, and today the statistics, even from the European
[00:11:05] Union and Spain, show that in recent
[00:11:09] years there has been a significant reduction in the number
[00:11:12] of irregular migrants, and this shows the good
[00:11:16] governance of managing the file in general, and especially
[00:11:19] the issue of unaccompanied minors in particular. Dr.
[00:11:23] Komat, unfortunately, some political actors exploit this issue
[00:11:27] for electoral purposes, and voices accuse our country of not cooperating
[00:11:30] or not wanting to repatriate these unaccompanied
[00:11:34] minors, while the reality is different and has nothing to do
[00:11:37] with these insinuations. In light of the falsehood of these claims
[00:11:41] and the complexities of the migration file, how can we today
[00:11:47] from the European side, between the facts of history and geography, and
[00:11:50] the unsubstantiated claims and political exploitation
[00:11:53] of migration for electoral purposes? Dr.
[00:11:56] Komat,
[00:12:02] yes, Morocco refuses to enter into these political
[00:12:04] debates and the political exploitation of the
[00:12:08] migration file, and also
[00:12:10] the involvement of electoral campaigns in the migration
[00:12:13] file. Morocco
[00:12:17] a humanitarian perspective, so that today human
[00:12:20] rights and child rights are Morocco's priorities. Second,
[00:12:23] it addresses this issue within the framework of responsible partnership, so that today
[00:12:27] Morocco has agreements with the European Union and with bilateral
[00:12:30] agreements such as
[00:12:33] years, the reports of the European Union
[00:12:37] and the state of Spain have always
[00:12:40] commended Morocco's position and the procedures
[00:12:44] and exemplary cooperation of Morocco in managing
[00:12:47] the migration file, as well as in managing other
[00:12:49] security and political
[00:12:53] files. Morocco has always respected its obligations,
[00:12:57] but today it should not engage in
[00:13:00] political debates and electoral
[00:13:04] maneuvers, because the issue is a humanitarian
[00:13:07] issue, it is a deep issue, it is an issue
[00:13:11] that concerns the depth of human relations. Therefore,
[00:13:14] Morocco today remains in harmony
[00:13:18] with its history, with its civilization,
[00:13:21] with its respect for international
[00:13:26] relations and agreements. And this is shown by history, as
[00:13:29] countries in general have always commended
[00:13:33] what Morocco has done and what it is doing to maintain stability in
[00:13:39] and security stability and everything
[00:13:42] that can play a positive role in developing
[00:13:46] relations between neighboring countries. Dr. Abdel
[00:13:50] Latif Komat, please stay with us. We will continue the discussion with you
[00:13:54] shortly. So, viewers, in facing one of the most complex
[00:13:58] files internationally, Morocco is adopting a multi-dimensional
[00:14:01] approach to managing irregular migration that combines firmness in
[00:14:05] border protection with commitment to the humanitarian
[00:14:09] approach enhances security and makes migration a developmental
[00:14:12] issue and a shared responsibility. Report by Samira Osban and Hassanan
[00:14:16] Wasawi. Irregular migration
[00:14:19] is one of the most complex files in the entire
[00:14:23] world, and Morocco has responded firmly
[00:14:26] and with a partnership logic with Europe to this multi-dimensional
[00:14:30] problem. However, the Kingdom is not a policeman
[00:14:34] or a guardian for Europe, it is a reliable,
[00:14:37] committed, and sovereign partner. The recent events
[00:14:41] at the crossing points leading to the cities of Ceuta
[00:14:45] and Melilla confirm the inevitability of updating
[00:14:48] the partnership rules with the European neighbors. These events
[00:14:51] revealed the illusion of the promised paradise.
[00:14:55] It still haunts the
[00:14:57] victims. The issue of migration is also connected
[00:15:01] to a deeper problem, which is human trafficking, and there are many
[00:15:04] networks working at this level and making illicit fortunes
[00:15:08] based on migration without taking into account the humanitarian dimension
[00:15:12] or anything else. On the other hand, the idea of migration
[00:15:15] or addressing this problem also requires addressing the discourse
[00:15:18] of despair. This discourse of despair naturally
[00:15:22] criticizes everything and views all
[00:15:26] matters negatively and builds an existing dream there without knowing
[00:15:29] about it. And of course, many young people now, through
[00:15:32] social media,
[00:15:35] discourse of despair, which directs them directly
[00:15:39] somewhat towards these networks
[00:15:42] that practice human trafficking. For years,
[00:15:45] the Kingdom has been committed to strengthening border
[00:15:51] trafficking. We are talking about thwarting about
[00:15:54] 160,000 irregular migration
[00:15:57] attempts between 2024
[00:16:01] and 2025.
[00:16:06] a security approach, but the Kingdom
[00:16:09] adopts a developmental
[00:16:12] to irregular migration. Morocco has made great
[00:16:16] efforts in the field of
[00:16:20] combating irregular migration, to the extent that Morocco
[00:16:23] and specifically His Majesty the King have become leaders
[00:16:27] in the field of migration and asylum regionally
[00:16:31] and
[00:16:33] internationally. Today, Morocco has a national
[00:16:38] strategy in the field of migration and asylum. This multi-dimensional
[00:16:41] strategy has humanitarian
[00:16:45] dimensions as well as human rights
[00:16:49] dimensions. This strategy has enabled, of
[00:16:52] course, the integration of many migrants
[00:16:55] and refugees. It has also enabled
[00:16:58] the regularization of their status and facilitated their access
[00:17:01] to services
[00:17:04] and rights. And because the developmental approach is
[00:17:07] the key to addressing irregular migration,
[00:17:10] the Kingdom has always invested in the socio-economic
[00:17:13] development of the northern provinces. The royal
[00:17:17] initiative in the north of the Kingdom
[00:17:21] economic growth of these provinces and contributed
[00:17:24] to creating more than 430,000 job
[00:17:28] opportunities.
[00:17:30] And I return to my guest from Casablanca, Dr. Abdel Latif Komat, university professor
[00:17:33] and economic expert. In your opinion, Dr. Komat, how
[00:17:37] has the phenomenon of migration become a complex phenomenon in the current context, not
[00:17:41] only in Morocco but in various parts of the world, and especially in the Euro-Mediterranean
[00:17:44] and African
[00:17:46] region?
[00:17:52] Yes, the issue of migration has become a complex issue, first,
[00:17:55] because migration was historically linked
[00:17:58] to economic issues.
[00:18:01] Today, it has expanded to climate issues, to
[00:18:04] demographic repercussions, and also to geopolitical
[00:18:08] repercussions. So today, the repercussions of migration
[00:18:11] have varied and diversified.
[00:18:14] And there is a special layer for the
[00:18:17] Euro-Mediterranean space because there is
[00:18:20] an extension of large human agglomerations. Today,
[00:18:23] Africa, which today has
[00:18:26] a population of 1.5 billion, is expected
[00:18:30] to rise to 2.5 billion by
[00:18:33] 2050. So there is
[00:18:36] human pressure. At the same time,
[00:18:40] there is aging in Europe and a need for
[00:18:43] human resources. The demographic
[00:18:46] problem is a big problem, but there are also other
[00:18:50] problems, climate problems. So we know
[00:18:53] that climate change today also pushes
[00:18:57] people to
[00:18:59] move from one area to another
[00:19:03] in search of a decent
[00:19:06] life. There are also geostrategic
[00:19:10] problems, including wars, and all
[00:19:13] of this leads to the movement of people
[00:19:17] from one area
[00:19:21] in this framework, the methods of addressing
[00:19:24] this issue must vary and develop.
[00:19:28] They must vary and develop
[00:19:30] through partnerships, through cooperation, through
[00:19:33] the exchange of information. All of
[00:19:36] this means that Morocco has always been a pioneer and a model
[00:19:40] for cooperation, first, for its national approach
[00:19:43] to migration problems by hosting
[00:19:47] tens of thousands of migrants who have settled
[00:19:51] and are working and who have families today in
[00:19:54] Morocco, in terms of education, health services, and also cooperation
[00:19:59] with partner countries. And here I mean
[00:20:03] specifically Spain and France. Today, for example, with
[00:20:06] Spain, there are several agencies, and even the official statistics
[00:20:10] of Spain show that there has been a great effort
[00:20:14] by the Kingdom of Morocco, as from 2024 to
[00:20:17] 2025, the wave of irregular
[00:20:20] migration decreased by about
[00:20:23] 22%. This means that there has been a great
[00:20:27] effort that has resulted today in large
[00:20:30] decreases in irregular migration, and this
[00:20:33] is thanks to the efforts that Morocco has always
[00:20:36] made. But as you mentioned earlier, all
[00:20:40] of this must be done through mutual
[00:20:43] respect, balanced partnerships. There is
[00:20:47] also a significant role from a funding perspective.
[00:20:50] The effort requires a lot of financial
[00:20:53] effort. Therefore, it is the duty of European
[00:20:56] countries, before
[00:21:00] Morocco and on how it handles
[00:21:04] this issue, to first fulfill their duty as
[00:21:07] partners, and Morocco has always
[00:21:11] been responsible
[00:21:13] Dr. Komat, on what basis
[00:21:17] is the Moroccan approach to managing the migration file based, which
[00:21:20] the world and the Euro-Mediterranean partners
[00:21:22] recognize its effectiveness?
[00:21:28] First, first, as a national initiative, Morocco,
[00:21:32] thanks to His Majesty, who had a humanitarian
[00:21:35] vision, today all of Africa recognizes it by hosting
[00:21:38] a large number of migrants
[00:21:42] who have settled and are working and who have families
[00:21:47] Morocco was a model in North Africa
[00:21:51] through these procedures that His Majesty
[00:21:54] oversaw. Second, through its handling
[00:21:58] as a transit country for migration
[00:22:01] with partner countries, it was
[00:22:03] always a model in terms of security,
[00:22:07] procedures, and human rights.
[00:22:09] It was a model for respecting
[00:22:12] partnerships and contributing as a respected
[00:22:16] partner with European countries in dealing with this file.
[00:22:20] International institutions, whether UN
[00:22:23] or regional, always considered Morocco
[00:22:26] a model in terms of its position
[00:22:29] and its handling of migration issues,
[00:22:32] both nationally as a host country and regionally
[00:22:35] as a transit country. What makes the cooperation
[00:22:39] between Morocco and the European Union exemplary in managing the migration file?
[00:22:42] Migration remains
[00:22:50] between Africa and Europe, and we know the strategic
[00:22:53] location of Morocco, because Morocco today is 15
[00:22:57] kilometers from Spain, and it remains the possible barrier
[00:23:00] for migration, which could have been a large
[00:23:04] influx. And if Morocco had not had this
[00:23:07] courage and this committed and responsible
[00:23:10] stance, migration could have been much
[00:23:14] worse. We talked about 160,000 attempts that Morocco
[00:23:17] managed this year. Imagine if Morocco
[00:23:22] great role that all forums recognize,
[00:23:26] migration could have had a different
[00:23:29] image. Therefore, Europe in general
[00:23:33] and Spain in particular must recognize,
[00:23:36] and this has always been present in the political
[00:23:39] positions of various Spanish ministers and also
[00:23:43] of the European Commission, which has always commended
[00:23:46] the Moroccan position. So Morocco
[00:23:50] today is a model, it is fulfilling
[00:23:53] its responsibility, but within the framework of respecting
[00:23:57] the law, respecting humanitarian principles,
[00:24:00] and also through consultation and exchange
[00:24:04] of opinions and information, and demanding
[00:24:07] that each party have its responsibility and fulfill
[00:24:11] it in the best conditions.
[00:24:14] Last question, Dr. Komat, what are the lessons learned from the recent
[00:24:18] events witnessed at the crossing points leading to Ceuta and Melilla, and how
[00:24:22] can public policies today address the various
[00:24:25] challenges effectively?
[00:24:27] Yes, the lessons that
[00:24:33] must be drawn are different. First,
[00:24:36] we must differentiate between the problem of work
[00:24:40] in general and this wave of migration, because
[00:24:44] a number of people who tried to migrate
[00:24:47] are children. They are in need of work and have not yet reached
[00:24:51] working age. There are also people who had jobs
[00:24:55] and people who are at an advanced age. So there
[00:24:58] was this idea that the other world
[00:25:01] is a better world and a world where one can find
[00:25:05] better living conditions. However, this later
[00:25:08] turned out to be untrue. Today, Europe also has
[00:25:12] difficulties, it has problems
[00:25:15] people, even from Spain, who today resort
[00:25:18] to Morocco for work in Morocco. Morocco today has a dynamic,
[00:25:22] it has strategies, it has major projects that
[00:25:25] we need to believe in. First, we need to believe in these strategies
[00:25:29] and these major projects that His Majesty
[00:25:32] launched. Today, Morocco is undergoing a great transformation. We must
[00:25:36] deal with this transformation. We must be up to
[00:25:40] the challenge of this transformation. Today, Morocco has industries,
[00:25:43] it has major projects in infrastructure. It attracts
[00:25:46] large investments. It needs some time, and we,
[00:25:50] as economists, know the problem of emerging
[00:25:53] countries in this transition from one stage
[00:25:57] to another. There are some problems of
[00:26:00] compatibility between the fabric.
[00:26:04] However, thanks to His Majesty, who was convinced years
[00:26:07] ago that there must be a balance between
[00:26:11] the economic and social aspects, today the social aspect
[00:26:14] is advancing. The royal initiative
[00:26:18] for social coverage, the social
[00:26:20] projects, the national initiative for human development,
[00:26:24] and also today, His Majesty emphasized this in the Throne
[00:26:28] Speech 2025. Today,
[00:26:31] countries with human development that have been classified
[00:26:34] as having significant development. So we must first
[00:26:38] differentiate between this social problem
[00:26:41] and this erroneous vision
[00:26:43] and the problem of unemployment for
[00:26:47] what we can call the second
[00:26:51] lesson, which is awareness. Here, awareness means
[00:26:54] that we must raise awareness among young people about
[00:26:57] their interests. Their interest today is to stay in their country. Their interest is to continue
[00:27:01] their studies. Their interest is to pursue
[00:27:04] vocational training that can enable
[00:27:08] them to participate in this dynamic. And also,
[00:27:10] the responsibility of public policies. Today, we know
[00:27:17] education, we talk about health,
[00:27:20] we talk about encouraging entrepreneurship among young people
[00:27:23] to create their own businesses in terms of support and
[00:27:26] funding. So there are major challenges that Morocco
[00:27:29] must, as it has always done, address from
[00:27:33] a positive perspective. This gesture and this
[00:27:37] stance that we have experienced these days must give
[00:27:40] us another push to lead this country, as
[00:27:44] His Majesty always wanted, to progress.
[00:27:47] Today, we are in the position of an emerging state,
[00:27:51] and these problems concern emerging states. We must
[00:27:54] deal with them wisely, and thanks to the royal
[00:27:57] directives, we are moving forward in this.
[00:28:00] Second, we must give great
[00:28:04] importance to the deep problems. And here
[00:28:09] equity in regional development, equity in social
[00:28:12] development,
[00:28:14] encouraging young people, encouraging women. Here, the statistics
[00:28:18] of the High Commission, which it gave us two days
[00:28:22] ago, some statistics that must push us to
[00:28:25] think about giving great importance to youth,
[00:28:29] because today, young people who hold degrees have problems. Women also
[00:28:32] today, as you can see, the rate of unemployment reaches
[00:28:36] 18%. We also see the difference in terms of
[00:28:39] regional development and creating jobs within the regions. So all
[00:28:43] these are challenges that are, let's say, normal
[00:28:47] in a country that is experiencing activity and dynamism, but
[00:28:51] it is our duty all to engage in this
[00:28:54] dynamism and to make decisions. And this is thanks to His Majesty.
[00:28:57] His directives have always been
[00:29:00] framework, the goal of which is to advance our country. From Casablanca,
[00:29:04] Dr. Abdel Latif Kamat, Professor at the university and economic expert,
[00:29:08] thank you.
[00:29:11] Fake news and misleading information are not new,
[00:29:14] but they have spread widely
[00:29:18] the remarkable development achieved by information and communication technology.
[00:29:21] Artificial intelligence is another chapter of this development
[00:29:25] that has contributed greatly to diversifying methods of falsifying
[00:29:28] news, which negatively reflects on societies and calls for
[00:29:32] more awareness to distinguish between real
[00:29:35] and fake news and information. Amin Alam,
[00:29:38] Mohammed Hassan Maskour and Hasnaa Mesaoul. In
[00:29:42] an era of rapid technological transformations, artificial intelligence
[00:29:45] technology has succeeded in imposing itself strongly in all
[00:29:48] fields as a means to simplify tasks and contribute
[00:29:52] to spreading knowledge and information. But in a time when
[00:29:55] lies are made by pressing a button, this technology
[00:29:58] has turned into the most dangerous factory for producing fake news, with all the
[00:30:02] repercussions and negative effects it carries on society
[00:30:06] and on individuals, especially young people. We see how artificial intelligence
[00:30:09] contributes a lot to the spread of fake news, such as videos
[00:30:13] and voices. We are now seeing videos
[00:30:17] that are really fake videos,
[00:30:20] and they are fabricated, even for journalistic articles, for
[00:30:24] many things, we find that they are
[00:30:27] fabricated, wrong, and the topic doesn't even exist. We have recently
[00:30:31] seen the circulation of a group of videos edited by artificial
[00:30:34] intelligence that may be unreal,
[00:30:37] fake, or used out of their real
[00:30:41] context. We must verify reliable sources from official
[00:30:45] media channels. We must diversify
[00:30:48] the sources from which you get your
[00:30:51] news. The spread of fake news, we see that it was
[00:30:55] already very common, and now it has increased with artificial
[00:30:58] intelligence.
