OpenAI halted five political influence ops over the last three months

Threat actors from Russia, China, and Israel were using OpenAI tech for political operations.

"OpenAI is committed to enforcing policies that prevent abuse and to improving transparency around AI-generated content," the company wrote. OpenAI says the group of covert actors were using a variety of tools for a "range of tasks, such as generating short comments and longer articles in a range of languages, making up names and bios for social media accounts, conducting open-source research, debugging simple code, and translating and proofreading texts." In the U.S., deep-faked AI video and audio of celebrities, and even presidential candidates, led to a federal call on tech leaders to stop their spread.
