The Spanish Socialist Party (PSOE) is contemplating legal action against the opposition right-wing People's Party (PP) following the publication of an artificial intelligence (AI) video featuring fabricated versions of Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez's wife, Begoña Gómez, and other prominent socialist figures. The video, released by the PP, allegedly shows these individuals admitting to wrongdoing, including corruption and other controversies.
Despite the video containing a disclaimer indicating its AI creation, it gained significant traction, accumulating nearly two million views within 11 hours. The PSOE accused the PP of using technology to spread political attacks and falsehoods, while the PP's spokesman, Borja Sémper, defended their use of AI to expose what they perceived as socialist hypocrisy.
The dispute stems from a broader campaign involving the term "zurdo," which is commonly used as a derogatory term for someone on the political left.
