Every week in the lead-up to Brazil's October 4 election, we sit down with presidential candidates, election officials, and the researchers and journalists actually shaping Brazil's response to AI in this campaign, to find out what's really at stake.

We're examining the big issues making AI a frontline issue for Brazilian voters this year, from the TSE's landmark deepfake and AI-labeling rules, to Brazil's own stalled federal AI law, to Brazil's position as the world's most closely watched test case for AI and democracy, to jobs, energy, and the AI economy across Brazil's states.

These are the fights deciding how AI gets governed in Brazil, and most voters have never heard their own candidates address them directly.

AI on the Ballot: Brazil is a four-episode non-partisan series co-hosted by Bennett Iorio of GIE Foundation and Sanjay Puri of Knowledge Networks. Each episode sits down with the researchers, candidates, experts and journalists actually shaping Brazil’s AI policy - and puts them on the record.
