Young people are increasingly turning to AI to follow geopolitical current events. «This is serious,» says David Bandeira

Now29 August 2026 at 00:07

Young people are increasingly turning to artificial intelligence to follow geopolitical current events, according to an article published in NOW. This trend has worried specialists and observers in the fields of communication and education.

University student David Bandeira, who studies Political Sciences, was one of the voices heard by the publication to comment on this reality. He warned about the risks associated with this practice, considering the situation to be serious.

According to Bandeira, artificial intelligence is not only used to access information, but also plays a significant role in fueling disinformation among young people. This phenomenon raises questions about the quality and reliability of the news that reaches this age group.

The article highlights that the combination of the growing use of AI tools and the lack of media literacy may be contributing to an increasingly complex informational landscape to navigate, especially for younger generations.

Supplier risk assessment changes the defense in technology

Attacks on technology organizations are increasingly directed at the service supply chain, making supplier assessment a central pillar of corporate risk strategies. According to Cássio Campos, cybersecurity leader, this shift has also impacted the commercial calculations of buyers, insurers, and investors. During audits at technology companies, financial services, and regulated sectors, he observed that security questionnaires, previously required only at contract closing, are now demanded in the middle of the sales cycle. Contracts have started including audit clauses, and negotiation timelines have extended without changes to the product offered. Campos highlights that "the conflict between speed and security is real in the symptom and false at the source," pointing to the need to rethink acquisition processes. The conclusions are gathered in the book "The Paradox of Technology Leadership," scheduled for release in September 2026 at the Rede Líderes headquarters in São Paulo.
