Oct 9, 2024, 02:26 PM

OpenAI has reported ongoing attempts by threat actors to use its AI models, including ChatGPT, to influence elections worldwide, including in the US and Rwanda. Over the past year, the company has disrupted more than 20 operations and networks from foreign actors trying to utilize its generative AI technologies to meddle in political sentiments. OpenAI noted that the effort that spread widest was a hoax that only appeared to use its services. The company also revealed that a China-linked group attempted to phish its employees by posing as a ChatGPT user. Despite these efforts, OpenAI stated that these attempts have had little viral engagement.
