ChatGPT: OpenAI sperrt Konten nach prorussischer Desinformationskampagne
Auf zahlreichen sozialen Medien wurden Desinformationsbeiträge mit Verbindung zu Russland veröffentlicht. Allerdings haben die Urheber eine Verbindung zu einem anderen Land.
Düsseldorf - OpenAI has suspended several ChatGPT accounts based in Russia, according to the company's latest blog post. The accounts were found to have been used in a covert campaign to spread disinformation, the company revealed on Tuesday. The "Spiegel" reported that a thinktank based in Israel is suspected to be behind the operation, which reportedly has ties to the Russian state apparatus.
The operators of the suspended accounts allegedly used ChatGPT in Russian to create comments for social media platforms, instructing the system to conceal any linguistic trace of their Russian origin. The posts were published on X, Facebook, LinkedIn, Telegram, and the Substack blogging platform. OpenAI blocks access to its models from Russia, forcing the operators to use VPN services to conceal their location.
The operation was uncovered by Ben Nimmo, who heads a department at OpenAI focused on investigating campaigns that misuse artificial intelligence (AI) for disinformation. Nimmo described the operation as combining advanced tactics with a sloppy implementation, noting that the use of ChatGPT exposed the actors and allowed for a more comprehensive operation to be uncovered.
