OpenAI Identifies Misuse of AI by Russia, China, and Others

State actors and private firms used generative AI for covert influence campaigns, though with limited success, OpenAI reports.

OpenAI disrupted five online campaigns using its AI tools for deceptive political influence.
State actors from Russia, China, Iran, and Israel were involved in these operations.
The campaigns generated social media posts, translated articles, and debugged software.
Despite these efforts, the influence operations struggled to gain significant traction.
Experts warn that AI's role in disinformation could grow as technology advances.
