OpenAI, the company that created ChatGPT, has claimed that an Israeli company tried to influence India's elections. The Israeli company ran an anti-BJP agenda on social media and praised the Congress.
OpenAI says that Israeli political campaign management firm STOIC produced some content on the ongoing conflict in Gaza as well as the Indian elections.
OpenAI says that we completed some activities related to the Indian elections in May within 24 hours.
On the other hand, on the revelations of OpenAI, Union Minister Rajiv Chandrashekhar says that BJP is being targeted. Some of our political parties may also be involved in this.
OpenAI claims that we banned several accounts run by Israel. Content was created and edited from these accounts to influence a large number of people on X, Facebook, Instagram, several websites and YouTube.
'This operation run by an Israeli company involved people from Canada, America and Israel. Content in English and Hebrew was uploaded for them. In early May, content in English was uploaded targeting people from India.'
OpenAI that we have ended the activities of the Israeli company STOIC, not the company itself. We named our operation Zero Zeno. This name was in accordance with the philosophy of the STOIC school.
The people behind Zero Zeno used our model to write articles and comments. These were later posted on several platforms, especially Instagram, Facebook, X and websites related to this operation.
According to OpenAI, the content was used for a variety of issue-based operations, including Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the Gaza conflict, Indian elections, European and US politics, Chinese dissidents, and criticism of the Chinese government by foreign governments.
