Disrupting a new covert influence campaign from Russia
OpenAI reported the disruption and banning of Russia-origin accounts that used its AI tools to run a covert influence campaign. The malicious activity generated content to establish a fictitious Israel-based think tank and distribute a sovereignty index that promoted pro-Russian narratives while criticizing Western nations. OpenAI terminated the infrastructure and accounts tied to the operation as part of its enforcement against deceptive foreign influence operations.
