Overview

• Staatsminister Wolfram Weimer introduced the Weimatar at the Chancellery with a public debut video released in multiple languages.
• The plan sets dual uses: rapid statements on social platforms for external audiences and regularly updated training videos inside the culture ministry.
• The launch video addresses specific topics in Mandarin, Dutch, Polish and French, including TikTok censorship, Ghent’s boycott dispute, German‑Polish ties and support for ARTE and Deutsche Welle against disinformation.
• The government named Synthesia as the technical partner for producing the avatar and its video outputs.
• The press office affirmed the debut’s propriety, while reporting describes the avatar as a controlled, non‑autonomous simulation and raises concerns about normalizing synthetic official communication.
