UEFA European Football Championship - Wüst greets soccer fans in various languages in video clips.
Hendrik Wüst, the Minister-President from CDU, addresses football fans in a video message with fluent Turkish. Thanks to Artificial Intelligence (AI), this was made possible. The State Chancellery reveals that for the first time, a recorded greeting from Wüst was translated into 11 languages using AI.
The State Chancellery believes that watermarks, signs in subtitles, and social media posts ensure the maximum level of transparency. The AI mimics Wüst's voice so accurately that it feels like he's speaking in person, even in Romanian, Polish, Ukrainian, or Dutch.
For each language, you can hear him say, "Welcome, football fans! North Rhine-Westphalia is where football thrives. This is the home of the German football champion. As Minister-President, I warmly welcome you all to the European Football Championship and hope you have a wonderful time in our beautiful country." The videos were published on the regional YouTube channel "Sportland NRW".
Check out Wüst's Turkish message on the tournament's official website (EM-Homepage).
