Russian President Vladimir Putin appeared briefly lost for words on Thursday when confronted with an AI-generated version of himself.
"I want to ask, is it true you have a lot of doubles?" the AI version asked.
"And also: How do you view the dangers that artificial intelligence and neural networks bring into our lives?"
The question prompted a rare hesitation from Putin during his annual news conference.
There has been recurrent speculation that Putin has one or more body doubles to cover for him in some public appearances because of alleged health problems. The Kremlin had denied this.
