“I was very curious about the result,” son Tom Dehaene told our editors. CD&V chairman Sammy Mahdi had asked him in advance whether the family could agree with his idea to resurrect the former prime minister, who died in 2014, via artificial intelligence. “That went very correctly,” said Dehaene, who is currently a deputy in the province of Flemish Brabant. “I think it’s beautiful, but I can immediately see that it’s not really my father. For example, I don’t remember my father having a build like that. (laughs) Of course it was set, but I think this one is still a size bigger. I can also hear from the voice that it is not my father. But it’s good that we can still tell the difference between what’s real and what’s not. So we cannot be completely replaced by technology.”
