The information displayed in the AIM should not be reported as representing the official views of the OECD or of its member countries.
A deepfake video using AI to simulate ex-president Jair Bolsonaro's image and voice was shown at a political convention to endorse his son, Flávio Bolsonaro, despite Bolsonaro's suspended political rights. The incident prompted legal complaints and accusations of electoral law violations, highlighting risks of AI misuse in Brazilian elections.[AI generated]
Why's our monitor labelling this an incident or hazard?
An AI system was explicitly used to create a simulated video of Jair Bolsonaro, which was shown publicly despite legal prohibitions on his political speech. This use of AI directly led to a breach of legal obligations and could cause harm by misleading the public or circumventing judicial restrictions. Therefore, this event qualifies as an AI Incident due to the direct involvement of AI in causing a violation of applicable law and potential harm to political rights and the democratic process.[AI generated]
