[AUTHENTICITY CERTIFIED: Text version below transcribed directly from audio]

Dear members of the media and the public: I welcome you. My name is Victoria Shi. I have been created by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine using artificial intelligence to provide you with timely and high-quality information on consular affairs.

I am a digital person.

That means that the text you hear was not read by a real person. It was generated by artificial intelligence.

I will carry out a number of tasks. First and foremost, I will inform the public, providing timely and verified information from Ukraine’s consular service. I will provide journalists with updates about the work of consuls in protecting the rights and interests of Ukrainian citizens abroad. [I will also inform you about the Foreign Ministry’s response to incidents or emergency situations abroad.]1

At the bottom corner of this video you can see a QR code. It leads to the official website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, where the text of this statement is posted. The only original videos with my statements are those that contain such a code and a link to the official website of the Ministry with the same comment in the text form.

With my appointment, we are taking a step into the future.

I look forward to our fruitful cooperation.
