Generative AI tools such as ChatGPT have begun spreading talking points originating from Russia, according to a new report.

NewsGuard has raised alarms over the infiltration of AI chatbot responses by Russian propaganda, attributing this intrusion to the sophisticated techniques employed by the Moscow-based Pravda network.

Russian propaganda may be influencing certain answers from AI chatbots including OpenAI's ChatGPT and Meta's Meta AI, according NewsGuard.

A sprawling Russian disinformation network is manipulating Western AI chatbots to spew pro-Kremlin propaganda, researchers say, at a time when the United States is reported to have paused its cyber operations against Moscow.

Rather than trying to influence readers directly, the 'Pravda' misinformation network spreads false information, intending for it to be used in training AI chatbots like ChatGPT or Grok.
