OpenAI has published a report detailing influence operations linked to the People's Republic of China that are using AI to target debates in the United States. The report focuses on attempts to shape discussions around technology, data center development, and tariffs, according to the company's findings.
The operations also spread false claims about ChatGPT, OpenAI's own product. The report does not specify the scale of the operations or the platforms involved, but it underscores how AI tools are being repurposed for political influence.
OpenAI's report is a single source, so there are no independent accounts to compare against. The company's description of the operations is the only information available in the source.
