Politics, Capitol Storming, Hate, Histogram, Artificial Intelligence, Trump, BidenAbstract
In January 2021, during a rally in Washington, D.C., Donald Trump claimed electoral fraud and urged citizens to go to the Capitol. Hours later, dozens stormed the building, leaving four dead and 52 arrested. Afterwards, both Joe Biden and Trump released audiovisual messages. This study uses AI tools to qualitatively analyse those speeches via the ONEIA application. A quantitative analysis with OpenAI also assessed the videos' aesthetic treatment. Despite major content differences in the speeches, the audiovisual style showed high similarity, supported by statistical analysis of frame histograms.
