The Brazilian Superior Electoral Court (TSE) unanimously ordered the Liberal Party (PL) to remove an AI-generated video that falsely associated President Lula with organized crime. The video used synthetic imagery to simulate Lula in a prison setting, spreading disinformation and violating electoral laws. The court recognized the AI-generated content as gravely misleading and harmful.[AI generated]
Why's our monitor labelling this an incident or hazard?
The video was produced using AI (deepfake technology) to create false and misleading content that harms the reputation and honor of a political candidate, which constitutes a violation of rights and harms the legitimacy of the electoral process. This is a direct harm caused by the AI system's use. The court's decision to remove the video confirms the recognition of this harm. Hence, this qualifies as an AI Incident because the AI system's use directly led to harm (violation of rights and harm to communities).[AI generated]
