OpenAI says it took down a malicious Russian plan to spread misinformation on ChatGPT
OpenAI disrupted a Russian-linked influence campaign that used ChatGPT accounts to promote a fake academic think tank called the International Burke Institute. The site stole and misattributed real academic work to appear legitimate and featured a "Burke Sovereignty Index" designed to make Russia look superior to Western nations. Operators took steps to hide Russian origins, but linguistic slip-ups revealed them. Overall reach was limited, though the campaign's infrastructure was notably sophisticated.
