By the Numbers
The Brazilian Superior Electoral Court (TSE) has signed new collaboration agreements with major digital platforms to combat disinformation ahead of the 2026 elections. At the meeting, which was attended by tech giants such as TikTok, Google, Meta, and X, as well as artificial intelligence organizations like OpenAI and ElevenLabs, joint policies were established to facilitate users' access to accurate information.
The most striking aspect of the agreement is the new security measures aimed at preventing the unauthorized copying of voices of public figures during campaign periods. ElevenLabs will automatically detect and block unauthorized voice cloning attempts using its specially developed technology. The TSE will transmit a list of voices to be protected, including presidential candidates and high-ranking officials, to the platforms through an official channel.
The TSE also approved earlier this year a new decree mandating the labeling of content generated using artificial intelligence and banning AI-supported manipulative posts in the last 72 hours before election day. During the meeting, it was decided that platforms should develop new filters and oversight mechanisms to quickly remove misleading and criminal posts.
