French Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu hosted political representatives from across party lines on Thursday to discuss the issue of electoral interference ahead of the country’s 2027 presidential election. French authorities are sounding the alarm over the rapid advances in artificial intelligence which they fear could make attempts to digitally manipulate the voting process from abroad – and consequently the electoral outcome – easier than ever before.
FRANCE 24 spoke to Benoît Grünemwald to discuss what’s at stake and the strategies the French government could deploy to effectively combat foreign meddling.
