White House uses AI to create 'Game of Thrones' inspired video

The White House released an artificial intelligence-generated video on X that draws inspiration from the 'Game of Thrones' television series intro. The one-minute clip features a dynamic map of Washington, D.C., showing landmarks such as the Capitol, the National World War II Memorial, and the Reflecting Pool being revitalized as part of a capital beautification campaign.

The video concludes in the Oval Office, where the presidential desk is transformed into the 'Iron Throne' from George R. R. Martin’s fantasy saga, complete with an American flag and dragon-shaped torches. The post included text stating, 'The capital: restored. Order has been restored. The capital, recovered.'

This social media release follows the recent season finale of 'House of the Dragon,' a spinoff of the original series. The administration and Donald Trump frequently utilize pop culture references, memes, and AI-generated content in their social media communications.
