OpenAI says stalled attempts by Israel-based company to interfere in Indian elections
The HinduOpenAI, the creators of ChatGPT, has said it acted within 24 hours to disrupt deceptive uses of AI in covert operations focused on the Indian elections, leading to no significant audience increase. In a report on its website, OpenAI said STOIC, a political campaign management firm in Israel, generated some content on Indian elections alongside about the Gaza conflict. “In May, we disrupted some activity focused on the Indian elections less than 24 hours after it began.” OpenAI said it banned a cluster of accounts operated from Israel that were being used to generate and edit content for an influence operation that spanned X, Facebook, Instagram, websites, and YouTube. “Our investigations into suspected covert influence operations are part of a broader strategy to meet our goal of safe AI deployment.” OpenAI said it is committed to enforcing policies that prevent abuse and to improving transparency around AI-generated content.
