Brazil Court Orders Pro-Lula AI Video Pulled
A Brazilian election judge ordered the government's top lawyer to delete a pro-Lula AI video within 24 hours because it carried no AI label. The post Brazil Court Orders Pro-Lula AI Video Pulled appeared first on The Rio Times .
On 13 October, a judge from Brazil’s electoral court mandated government lawyer Jorge Messias to remove a pro-Lula AI video from his Instagram within 24 hours. The video featured synthetic people and voices, but lacked explicit labeling. Meta, the owner of Instagram, and Messias were ordered to comply 12 days before the runoff on 25 October.
Five days earlier, the full court had instructed Lula’s rival, Flávio Bolsonaro, to delete an unlabelled AI video of the president. Messias, the head of the federal government’s legal arm, posted the AI video on his Instagram account on 10 October, six days after the first round. Flávio Bolsonaro, the conservative senator challenging Lula in the runoff, took the case to the court on 12 October, claiming the scene never happened and that the clip never disclosed it was synthetic.
