OpenAI report: PRC-linked influence operations targeting U.S. AI debates

OpenAI published a report documenting PRC-linked influence operations that use AI to target U.S. technology policy debates, including narratives around data centers, tariffs, and false claims about ChatGPT. The report identifies a pattern of coordinated inauthentic behavior aimed at shaping American discourse on AI. This is notable both as a safety/threat-intelligence disclosure and as evidence of AI being weaponized in geopolitical information operations.
