OpenAI has published the first report on how artificial intelligence has been used for covert influence, revealing that the company had disrupted disinformation campaigns originating in Russia, China, Israel and Iran.
The company's platforms were used to create and publish propaganda content on social networks, and to translate content into the languages of those who created it to make it more persuasive.
There has been concern among lawmakers and researchers over the potential of artificial intelligence for online disinformation. Artificial intelligence companies, such as OpenAI, have attempted to remove these concerns by putting safeguards in place for users.
The report states that OpenAI experts found and suspended accounts linked to covert influence operations originating from states and individuals.
OpenAI has stated that it will continue to issue reports and ban accounts that violate its policies.
