What is the observatory?

The observatory is an online database of cases that involve the use of generative Artificial Intelligence to produce, spread, or manipulate politically charged content that could impact Brazilian democracy and the integrity of information. This project also aims to identify, systematize, and analyze how technology can directly or indirectly interfere in electoral processes and their integrity. The project is run by Data Privacy Brasil and Aláfia Lab.

This project is funded by Luminate.

What will be mapped?

Our focus is on cases involving the spread of AI-generated content that could potentially interfere with national political opinion formation, democratic integrity, and voting decisions, whether through explicit association (names and electoral events) or implicit association (topics related to trust and electoral integrity).

We focus on content produced by or about individuals who either hold or will run for political office, about political parties and coalitions, and about Brazilian public institutions.
