WASHINGTON, D.C. Sept 2, 2025 – President Donald Trump on Tuesday expressed unease about the advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) following the circulation of a viral video that depicted his life from childhood to adulthood, entirely generated by AI technology. The video, which Trump described as “a little bit scary,” showcased his personal and professional milestones, including his time at the New York Military Academy and significant business ventures like the opening of Trump Tower in 1983.
Trump’s comments come at a time when the ethical implications and potential misuse of AI are under intense scrutiny, particularly concerning the creation of deepfakes and the manipulation of public perception. This incident is part of a broader trend where AI-generated content has been leveraged for political satire, as evidenced by a previous viral video imagining Trump’s reaction to a new White House ballroom in 2028, which also stirred controversy.
The rapid evolution of AI technology, exemplified by tools such as Parrot AI’s Donald Trump voice generator, raises significant questions about privacy, the spread of misinformation, and the future landscape of digital media. As AI continues to advance, the potential for both innovation and ethical dilemmas remains a critical area of focus.
