OpenAI said it disrupted several attempts [non-paywalled source] from users
in China to leverage its AI models for cyber threats and covert influence
operations, underscoring the security challenges AI poses as the technology

violations came from China, noting that four of 10 sample cases included in
its latest report likely had a Chinese origin. In one such case, the company

generate social media posts for a covert influence operation. The company
said a user stated in a prompt that they worked for China's propaganda
department, though it cautioned it didn't have independent proof to verify
its claim.
