Manuel Adorni, spokesman for Argentina's presidency, published a video on social media on August 10, 2025, in which Governor Axel Kicillof appeared to say he had no campaign proposals and would need to search for them.
Journalists Gabriel Sued and Leandro Renou, who conducted the original interview for streaming program Futurock, confirmed the video was edited and created using artificial intelligence. Renou published the complete original interview, which showed Kicillof providing detailed policy positions on sovereignty, employment, debt, and economic policy.

Kicillof criticized the publication as part of a 'dirty campaign' with fabricated digital lies and false videos spread on social media by La Libertad Avanza.
The fake video was widely shared online before journalists debunked it.

Renou stated it was 'serious that this is done from the head of State,' raising concerns about the use of AI-generated disinformation by government officials during electoral campaigning.
