OpenAI says bad actors are using its platform to disrupt elections


OpenAI said in a report that it continues to see threat actors attempt to use its products, like ChatGPT, to influence election outcomes.

The company said its update on "influence and cyber operations" was intended to provide a "snapshot" of what it's seeing and to identify "an initial set of trends that we believe can inform debate on how AI fits into the broader threat landscape." It's been a major problem dating back to the 2016 U.S. presidential campaign, when Russian actors found cheap and easy ways to spread false content across social platforms. In June, OpenAI addressed a covert operation that used its products to generate comments about the European Parliament elections in France, and politics in the U.S., Germany, Italy and Poland.
