OpenAI claims Israeli firm tried to disrupt Lok Sabha polls, peddled anti-BJP agenda
India TodayOpenAI claims it had disrupted covert operations that sought to use artificial intelligence models to influence elections in India in a bombshell revelation just four days before results are declared for the Lok Sabha polls. A threat intel report by OpenAI claims that a for-hire Israeli firm “began generating comments that focused on India, criticised the ruling BJP party and praised the opposition Congress party.” The activity that was focused on Indian polls was flagged in May, the report mentions, adding that the "network was operated by STOIC, a political campaign management firm in Israel". Reacting to the report, Union Minister of Electronics and Technology Rajeev Chandrasekhar said, "It is absolutely clear and obvious that BJP was and is the target of influence operations, misinformation and foreign interference, being done by and/or on behalf of some Indian political parties." "The operation used compromised and fake accounts to pose as Sikhs, post content and manage Pages and Groups," the report claims.
