In a context of little data protection, political marketing uses profiling tactics to spread misinformation and deepen political polarization. Do you know if your personal information was used in any political campaign? Have you received any election content or been added to any Whatsapp group of any candidacies?

Democracies worldwide have been placed at risk due to profiling and manipulation of citizens’ data and beliefs.

Currently, the architectural and software features of ICTs – as well as core guiding principles for policy making addressing these technologies – are developed by a non-diverse group of people, mostly white men from the so called Global North.

In other words, AI is currently organized to help mantain the status quo of social inequality and…
