PT publishes deepfake video of Tarcísio de Freitas (Republicanos-SP)
The party used AI to criticize new highway tolls advocated for by the governor of São Paulo
The Workers’ Party (PT) used artificial intelligence to criticize and satirize initiatives taken by Tarcísio de Freitas (Republicanos-SP). In a video posted on the party’s official Instagram account, a deepfake of the governor of São Paulo is shown dancing to a satire of a children’s song where the lyrics are changed to talk about the increase in tolls on state highways. The use of technology was indicated in the post caption and can be seen in the robotic aspects of the image, which was produced for humorous purposes.
