In its Monday evening edition, Jornal Nacional denied a video that went viral on Bolsonarist networks in which Willian Bonner and Renata Vasconcellos touted the results of the Ipec poll as positive for President Jair Bolsonaro, which does not correspond to reality.
O DCM reported the existence of the video..
The moderator of the country’s most watched journalist gave a general explanation of what this technology is, what it can do and the risk it can pose, since it relies on the credibility of the people whose videos can be altered to have the desired effect of disinformation and spreading lies.
See the excerpt from the newspaper where the issue was raised:
During these elections, the war waged on the Internet received a new weapon: the deepfake, a sound and image manipulation tool using artificial intelligence. One of these videos claims that Bolsonaro would be ahead in the IPEC voting vote, which is false. #JN pic.twitter.com/rBi3FroQKR
