Deepfake and politics
Deepfake, a technique that uses artificial intelligence (AI) resources to replace faces in video and images to faithfully reproduce reality, was used only in cinema and TV, but eventually became popular and is now available for free through several apps. Fear that technology would serve to deceive people was the main warning of journalist Bruno Sartori, knowingly creating and spreading absurd situations.

The fake news was an amendment to the August 15 issue, in which the journalist showed the result of an IPEC poll. The real result was the opposite: Lula came first with 44% of the vote, and Bolsonaro came second with 32%. instead of having fun manipulation was aimed at deceiving voters.
