Jason Miller, an ally of former US President Donald Trump, posted on social media an image generated by artificial intelligence showing Justice Alexandre de Moraes, of the Supreme Court (STF), wearing an electronic ankle monitor. The montage was shared amid the crisis involving Banco Master and the STF.
Miller made the post citing the controversy over Banco Master, which is in litigation at the Supreme Court. The false image was created using artificial intelligence tools to defame the Brazilian justice.
The case raises concerns about the use of deepfakes and image manipulation in international political contexts. Moraes has been the target of criticism from Trump's allies, who frequently attack the justice in their social media posts.
The fake image circulates at a time of tension between Brazilian and American politicians, with Miller using the montage to reinforce narratives against the STF justice.
