Russia used ChatGPT to run a covert influence campaign pushing pro-Kremlin narratives across the West

OpenAI disrupted a covert Russian influence campaign that used ChatGPT to generate social media posts, banning a cluster of accounts that promoted the fictitious 'International Burke Institute' and pushed pro-Kremlin narratives across the West. The operators accessed the platform via VPNs from Russia and produced German-language Telegram content critical of the EU and the German government. Although the campaign's reach remained small, OpenAI warned that its infrastructure could have been scaled up over time.
