Resumo: The social media algorithm works with a complex artificial intelligence system to create a timeline that keeps users in front of the screen. Through topics that become trends, the algorithm guides the public debate by means of a logic: the topics appear, most of the time, on Twitter, in accounts of politicians, journalists or influencers, and migrate to other networks. Considering the possibility of artificially producing trend topics on Twitter by using robots, the debates that are generated may represent an imbalance in the political system. Based on bibliographical research and document analysis, this article reflects on the way in which certain technological procedures can directly influence the formation of public opinion.

Por meio de assuntos que viram tendência, o algoritmo pauta o debate público através de uma lógica: os temas surgem, na maioria das vezes, no Twitter, em contas de políticos, jornalistas ou influenciadores, e migram para outras redes. Considerando a possibilidade de produção artificial de trendings no Twitter, através do uso de robôs, os debates que são gerados podem representar um desequilíbrio no sistema político. Partindo de pesquisa bibliográfica e análise de documentos, este artigo faz uma reflexão sobre o modo como determinados procedimentos tecnológicos podem influenciar diretamente a formação da opinião pública.Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo2023-09-10info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/metropole/article/view/5662310.1590/2236-9996.2023-5815Cadernos Metrópole; Vol. 25 No. 58 (2023): crise climática, cidades e reforma urbana; 1123-1142Cadernos Metrópole; Vol. 25 Núm. 58 (2023): crise climática, cidades e reforma urbana; 1123-1142Cadernos Metrópole; Vol. 25 No. 58 (2023): crise climática, cidades e reforma urbana; 1123-1142Cadernos Metrópole; v. 25 n. 58 (2023): crise climática, cidades e reforma urbana; 1123-11422236-99961517-2422reponame:Cadernos Metrópole (Online)instname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo (PUC-SP)instacron:PUC_SPporhttps://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/metropole/article/view/56623/43095Copyright (c) 2023 Rafael de Paula Aguiar Araujo, Igor Fediczko Silvahttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAraujo, Rafael de Paula AguiarSilva, Igor Fediczko2023-09-11T01:22:13Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/56623Revistahttps://revistas.pucsp.br/metropolePRIhttps://old.scielo.br/oai/scielo-oai.phpcadernosmetropole@outlook.com||cadernosmetropole@outlook.com2236-99961517-2422opendoar:2023-09-11T01:22:13Cadernos Metrópole (Online) - Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo (PUC-SP)false
