Giorgetti and the mystery of the Facebook profile: who is pretending to be a minister?

Who is pretending to be Giancarlo Giorgetti on Facebook? This is the strange question that is going around the Banca Popolare di Sondrio, where the Minister of Economy has just finished his speech: he talked about banks and how they are not algorithms but they must continue to fund the risk and return. It’s time for a discussion, a productive Sondrio is listening and can give an opinion. Giorgetti knows the area well: he has just finished praising the activity of Valtellina, which has been able to develop “a wonderful knowledge, first peasant, then artisanal, but also professional, credit, business, long before artificial intelligence”.

At a certain point, an entrepreneur takes courage and points the finger at bureaucracy and hyper management. The strange words: “Dear Minister, I always write them on Facebook…”. Giorgetti answered, with a smile: “Ma’am, I don’t know how you can talk to me, I don’t have Facebook!”.

Silence. Laughter is restricted. The minister reveals the secret: “It is full of false images of me. They use my image, my voice with artificial intelligence to advertise absurd financial products. Many friends write to me: ‘What did you start doing?'”. The audience laughs, he jokes. “The protests are starting, but I don’t know, they’ll go to Wisconsin or who knows where. However, they do not produce any results. “

Giorgetti continues, answering on merit, and then before he finishes he talks to the businesswoman again, joking: “Anyway, I’ll explain how to talk to me not using these profiles on Facebook. I don’t know what these people will call her… I wouldn’t want them to have said something strange to her.” The laughter increases, the businesswoman says they won’t answer: ” Ah, they don’t answer? Well, this is already a fortune!” said Giorgetti with amusement.by Andrea Persili)
