The president (PT) suggested this Thursday (14) to allied senators from Bahia to propose a legislative measure to veto the.
One day after the announcement of the exchange of messages between the senator (-RJ) and the banker, the president did not mention his opponent, a pre-candidate for the Presidency of the Republic, by name, but said that “the truth takes time, but it does not fail”.
“I confess to you, a citizen who learned character from Dona Lindu, will not accept artificial intelligence to run a political campaign. If there is one thing a politician has to do, it is to look the people in the eye and allow the people to look him in the eye to know who is lying. And you are seeing it on television. The truth takes time, but it never fails”, stated the president.
Lula participated in an event to deliver 384 Minha Casa, Minha Vida apartments in Camaçari (BA).
He praised the decision of the (Superior Electoral Court) to ban the use of artificial intelligence in electoral propaganda three days before the elections. But he suggested to senators Jaques Wagner (PT) and Otto Alencar (PSD), present at the event, that some way of prohibiting the use of AI in the entire electoral process be proposed.
“In elections, is AI necessary? In elections, people have to vote for a real, flesh-and-blood thing. People cannot vote for a lie. […] I kept thinking. What can we do to prohibit talking about artificial intelligence in politics during election times? Because that will serve the liars. Because it’s a lie, I can say everything handsome. And politics is the time of truth. The guy who lies in politics should lose his tongue. Because when he is elected, he was elected to represent the people and cannot lie.”
“So, it is important that we take into account, Wagner, what can be done from a legislative point of view to truly discuss this artificial intelligence business, which provides extraordinary services to science. But I keep asking myself: how can you vote for an artificial intelligence candidate?”, stated the president.
In March, the TSE for the use of AI in campaigns. Among the measures adopted is the ban on electoral content produced by AI 72 hours before and 24 hours after each round of voting.
The court also maintained the determination that advertisements must indicate the existence of synthetic content and state which content was used. Another rule provides for the banning of false, apocryphal or automated profiles when there are practices that could compromise the process.
Five months ago, content produced with generativity as a trench for political dispute inside and outside the official pre-campaign apparatus.
