OPENAI: OVERSEAS GROUPS USING AI TO SHAPE PUBLIC OPINION生成AI使った世論操作の危険性

U.S. firm OpenAI says it's identified five online campaigns based overseas that used its generative artificial intelligence technologies in an attempt to manipulate public opinion. OpenAI developed the artificial intelligence chatbot ChatGPT. It said in a report the latest campaigns were run by groups based in Russia, China, Iran, and Israel. The groups used generative AI for a number of tasks, such as making up names and biographies for social media accounts, creating comments, and translating texts. The content posted by the groups focused on a wide range of issues, including Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the conflict in Gaza, and politics in the United States. OpenAI said a group based in China criticized Japan's release of treated and diluted water from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant into the ocean. The comments were posted on online platforms in English, Japanese, and other languages.
