US EditionOpenAI Disrupts Chinese ChatGPT Propaganda and Digital Surveillance Campaigns
- On June 5, OpenAI, a startup based in San Francisco, released a report highlighting a rise in Chinese groups employing its artificial intelligence technology for secretive activities.
- This rise followed concerns about generative AI’s misuse after ChatGPT’s launch in late 2022, as Chinese groups expanded tactics to target limited audiences.
- OpenAI identified several China-linked operations creating polarized social media content, including a campaign dubbed "Sneer Review" that used ChatGPT to post comments across platforms in multiple languages.
- These operations used AI for open-source research, code debugging, hacking tools, and social media automation, generating posts on geopolitical topics and internal documents like performance reviews.
- OpenAI disrupted at least 10 such operations recently, noting that greater AI tools did not necessarily improve outcomes but indicated broader tactical diversity in covert campaigns.
