AI-generated disinformation targeting Bolivian leadership

Overview

Bolivian President Rodrigo Paz has been the target of various artificial intelligence-generated disinformation campaigns. In May 2026, a deepfake video used manipulated audio and footage to falsely claim the Ukrainian army was demanding the President’s resignation.

By August 2026, investigations confirmed further AI-driven disinformation involving President Paz and former advisor Fernando Cerimedo. These included a fabricated photograph depicting Paz and Cerimedo with their respective partners, as well as a manipulated TikTok video falsely showing Cerimedo making accusations against the President following his arrest.
