OpenAI's recent quarterly threat report reveals that the company has disrupted over 20 foreign influence networks in the past year, aimed at manipulating political sentiments worldwide, including in the U.S. These networks have attempted to misuse OpenAI's generative AI technologies, such as ChatGPT, to create misleading content and execute cyberattacks. Notably, actors linked to Iran and China have utilized these tools for mass content generation and phishing attacks, while a group tied to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has also been implicated.
