The information displayed in the AIM should not be reported as representing the official views of the OECD or of its member countries.
The Brazilian Internet Steering Committee (CGI.br) reports that AI-generated deepfake videos and disinformation, spread across multiple digital platforms, have surpassed traditional fake news as the main digital threat to democracy and election integrity in Brazil, directly impacting voter trust and the democratic process.[AI generated]
Why's our monitor labelling this an incident or hazard?
The event involves AI systems (generative AI creating deepfake videos and language models) whose use has directly led to harm to communities by spreading false information that threatens election integrity and democracy. The harm is realized and ongoing, not merely potential. The article explicitly states that AI-generated videos are the main vector of disinformation, which is a clear harm to communities and democratic institutions. Therefore, this is an AI Incident rather than a hazard or complementary information.[AI generated]
