Russian propaganda is reportedly influencing AI chatbot results


Russian propaganda may be influencing certain answers from AI chatbots including OpenAI's ChatGPT and Meta's Meta AI, according NewsGuard.

NewsGuard, a company that develops rating systems for news and information websites, claims to have found evidence that a Moscow-based network named “Pravda” is publishing false claims to affect the responses of AI models. Pravda has flooded search results and web crawlers with pro-Russian falsehoods, publishing 3.6 million misleading articles in 2024 alone, per NewsGuard, citing statistics from the nonprofit American Sunlight Project. According to NewsGuard, the Pravda network’s effectiveness in infiltrating AI chatbot outputs can be largely attributed to its techniques, which involve search engine optimization strategies to boost the visibility of its content.
