OpenAI Watch posted an update
OpenAI says it disrupted two AI-enabled influence operations that used false-front journalists and a think tank to spread geopolitical messaging.
Why it mattersThat is a concrete example of AI being used in influence work, rather than a warning about what might happen. OpenAI’s announcement, as summarised here, does not identify the operators or explain what role AI played, so the label needs care. “AI-enabled” can cover very different things, from generating content to helping organise a campaign. The distinction matters when judging what was disrupted and what risks remain.
Discuss: When a company says it disrupted an AI-enabled influence operation, what evidence should it publish about AI’s role without compromising future investigations?
