To fuel one of the most complex and urgent discussions of the digital age: the impact of deepfakes on society, we invited Nina da Hora — a computer scientist, researcher, and one of the most attentive voices on the relationships between technology, justice, and inequality in Brazil. Nina, who also designed an installation for the innovation space, gets into the fast-paced rhythm of deepfakes — videos and audio manipulated by artificial intelligence, capable of imitating faces, voices, and expressions with a disturbing degree of realism. While they once seemed like science fiction, today they are part of our daily lives — from humorous memes featuring celebrities like Beyoncé and Lady Gaga, to nonexistent faces, such as that of the fictional talk show featuring Marisa Maiô, to non-consensual pornographic content and political manipulations that put words that were never uttered in the mouths of leaders and authorities.

O CLIMÃO de julho vai te mostra o porquê esse debate sobre deepfakes é, não só tecnológico, é acima de tudo social. Trata-se de pensar o que acontece quando a tecnologia passa a forjar não só imagens, mas também verdades. Como isso afeta nossa confiança nas instituições, nas pessoas e na própria realidade? O que acontece com a nossa imagem — e com a nossa dignidade — quando deixamos de ter controle sobre a forma como somos representados?
