Digital authenticity and AI influence in Brazil

Overview

In Brazil, a growing movement toward ‘anti-editing video’ is emerging as a response to the proliferation of AI-generated synthetic content and deepfakes. This trend encourages creators and media outlets to prioritize authenticity by preserving natural speech errors and simple framing to boost credibility and audience engagement.

This shift toward digital authenticity is mirrored in the broader political landscape, where social media algorithms and artificial intelligence are reshaping political discourse. The influence of digital tools has led to concerns regarding the instrumentalization of the internet and the rise of social media bubbles, which are increasingly replacing traditional public opinion. Consequently, electoral debates face criticism for prioritizing rhetorical exchanges over substantive platform discussions, while voters navigate challenges including unverified polling data and the impact of deepfakes.
