Roma activist Bogdan Burdusel is pictured during an interview with AFP in Bucharest on March 3, 2026. AI generated singer Lolita is "a very sexualised" character, "a non-Roma man's fantasy of what a Roma woman might look like," told Burdusel to AFP, pointing to "a latent and unaddressed racism" in society. Lolita's popularity has stirred questions in Romania about artificial intelligence replacing humans, as well as stereotypes in a country with a history of discriminating against the Roma.
