Summit Surprise: AI Turns European Leaders into Babies

European leaders gather in Albania for the European Political Community Summit. The event, held in Tirana on May 16th, 2025, saw a surprising and humorous moment when an AI-generated video was shown. The video depicted various heads of state, including French President Emmanuel Macron, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, as babies, each saying "Welcome to Albania!" in their native languages. The unexpected video lightened the mood of the otherwise serious political discussions. One attendee commented, "It was a fun way to break the tension." The video's novelty and the involvement of key political figures make it a noteworthy event.
