Below are some questions that future generations of digital archaeologists and indeed anyone might pose to Artificial Intelligence (AI) bots regarding our present time. Responses here are given by our current generation of AI bots (in this case ChatGPT). Future bots will obviously be more powerful.
As the ChatGPT bot itself cautions, the information it provides is “not necessarily proven or definitive”. I also did not cross-check with other sources for accuracy, though its responses to resonate with my own knowledge of such issues.
The aim of this exercise is not not to single out and demonise particular individuals, only to show how accessible their legacy will be to future generations. Thus, if as a world leader you do not want to be included in a “List of world leaders of the 21st century most accused of lying” for example, don’t lie. Current world leaders and politicians might not care what future generations think of them, but future generations of their countrymen might. It is not a source of national pride to come from a country that consistently and persistently acted in an antisocial manner, especially whilst lying about it.

Write a paragraph each on 5 national leaders that were shown to have lied or misrepresented the facts so as to prosecute wars.
- George W. Bush: The 43rd President of the United States, George W. Bush, was accused of exaggerating and misrepresenting the intelligence on weapons of mass destruction (WMDs) in Iraq to justify the 2003 invasion. An official government inquiry in the UK found that the intelligence used to justify the invasion was flawed and unreliable.
- Tony Blair: The Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1997 to 2007, Tony Blair was accused of colluding with George W. Bush to mislead the public on the reasons for going to war in Iraq. Blair claimed that Iraq had WMDs, which later turned out to be false. Blair’s decision to join the US-led invasion was controversial, and it was later discovered that he had privately committed to support Bush’s plan to invade Iraq.
- Vladimir Putin: The President of Russia since 2000, Vladimir Putin has been accused of lying and misrepresenting the facts in his country’s involvement in the war in Syria. Putin has claimed that Russia’s intervention in Syria was aimed at fighting terrorism, but many experts believe that Russia’s main objective was to prop up the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
- Saddam Hussein: The former President of Iraq, Saddam Hussein, was accused of lying and misrepresenting the facts in the run-up to the Gulf War in 1991. Saddam claimed that Iraq was not involved in the invasion of Kuwait and had no WMDs, but evidence later showed that he had used chemical weapons against Iraqi Kurds and had a weapons program.
- Bashar al-Assad: The current President of Syria, Bashar al-Assad, has been accused of lying and misrepresenting the facts about his government’s involvement in the ongoing civil war. Assad has denied allegations of using chemical weapons against his own people and has blamed foreign countries for fueling the conflict. However, numerous reports and investigations have found evidence of chemical weapons use and human rights abuses by the Syrian government.
