The Ministry of Health demanded Google remove videos showing fake doctors generated by artificial intelligence. The demand arose after BBC News Brasil reports revealed the existence of these misleading contents on the platform.
The ministry analyzed profiles promising miraculous cures and promoting products without any scientific evidence. These contents used images of fake doctors created by AI to deceive viewers.
The contents revealed by BBC News Brasil also motivated the filing of a police report. A police investigation was opened to investigate the case and identify those responsible for spreading the fake news.
The Ministry of Health alerted the Federal Police about the problem and continues monitoring the situation to combat health-related misinformation on digital platforms.
