OpenAI, Georgetown CSET, and Stanford Internet Observatory Publish LLM Disinformation Misuse Report

OpenAI researchers collaborated with Georgetown University's Center for Security and Emerging Technology (CSET) and Stanford Internet Observatory to produce a report on how large language models could be misused to augment disinformation campaigns. The work draws on an October 2021 workshop with 30 experts across disinformation research, ML, and policy, plus over a year of additional research. The report outlines threat models for LLM-enabled disinformation and proposes a framework for analyzing potential mitigations.
