According to OpenAI, the originating prompts directed ChatGPT to only include U.S. President Donald Trump in this content, while leaving out Chinese President Xi Jinping, who has also made use of tariffs. <\/p>\n<p>In both cases, OpenAI said the operators \u201clikely originated\u201d in China. The anti-data center content was traced to an unnamed Chinese technology company that holds multiple contracts with regional Chinese governments, and both clusters used VPNs to evade restrictions, prompted ChatGPT in simplified Chinese and asked for both English and Chinese-language outputs, all while posing as Americans on social media platforms like X and YouTube.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cThis looks like a classic example of a foreign influence operation jumping onto the bandwagon of a genuine and pre-existing domestic debate and trying to manipulate it by using fake accounts posing as Americans,\u201d online, said Ben Nimmo, principal investigator at OpenAI and author of the report. <\/p>\n<p>While OpenAI \u2013 which has <a href=\"https:\/\/openai.com\/index\/announcing-the-stargate-project\/\">sought to raise<\/a> hundreds of millions of dollars in funding to build datacenters in the U.S. \u2013 is not a neutral party, the report does not claim that anti-data center sentiment in the country is being driven or bolstered by foreign propaganda online.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s little evidence that the campaigns got much attention outside their own amplification networks. Such engagement from third parties is an imperfect but important indicator of an influence operation\u2019s impact. OpenAI rated the campaigns a 1 and 2 on the Bookings breakout scale, scores that indicate activity on one or more platforms but no evidence of meaningful engagement by targeted audiences.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, researchers who study state-sponsored influence campaigns say these groups are happy to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cisa.gov\/sites\/default\/files\/publications\/19_1008_cisa_the-war-on-pineapple-understanding-foreign-interference-in-5-steps.pdf\">latch onto and amplify genuine domestic movements<\/a> or messaging so long as it serves their larger destabilization goals.<\/p>\n<p>Others have suggested that piggybacking off established narratives with organic momentum \u2013 like <a href=\"https:\/\/news.gallup.com\/poll\/709772\/americans-oppose-data-centers-area.aspx\">public anger at AI and data centers<\/a> \u2013 can make an influence operation appear more effective.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>While AI tools can be leveraged to create such internet content at scale, they often fail to gain traction. Some images used by Chinese actors appear clunky or use overly direct messaging that display a lack of familiarity with both the English language and internet virality.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI do want to be really clear here: this was not a case of an influence operation creating a debate,\u201d said Nimmo. \u201cThe debate existed already. This was an influence operation from China trying to interfere in it. We didn\u2019t see any signs that it succeeded.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added that while such views are \u201creasonable\u201d and \u201csincerely held\u201d by many participants on both sides, \u201cwhat we don\u2019t want to see is a covert foreign influence operation posing as Americans to try to shape it, still less a foreign influence operation using the very AI that it attacks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to the OpenAI report, the actors used ChatGPT to edit work reports which contained operational security details about their social media campaigns. In them, they described their goals as \u201cestablishing persistent and credible accounts, producing visually appealing content to expand audience reach in different regions and maintaining long term account viability by anticipating platform enforcement.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Another report fed into ChatGPT discussed how best to leverage Facebook\u2019s content ecosystem, groups, pages, hashtags, advertising tools, recommendation systems and reporting mechanisms, as well as strategies for evading Meta\u2019s detection of coordinated inauthentic accounts.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The campaign around tariffs also used ChatGPT to create short comments, comics in English but also Italian, Japanese and traditional Chinese accusing the US of putting profits over loyalty to its allies. OpenAI said they were targeted by the same network on X with an influence campaign alleging a widespread user data breach that Nimmo said \u201cnever happened.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While OpenAI said the campaigns likely originated in China, they do not directly attribute the operations to the Chinese government or actors working on their behalf, but do note that many parts of the campaign and its tactics overlap with pre-established Chinese government propaganda campaigns online.<\/p>\n<p> <\/body> <\/p>\n<footer class=\"single-article__footer\" readability=\"3.394148020654\">\n<div class=\"author-card\" readability=\"13\">\n<div class=\"author-card__avatar\">\n<figure class=\"author-card__image-wrap\"> <img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"author-card__image\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ddi.mohflo.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/openai-likely-chinese-influence-operation-tried-to-use-chatgpt-to-stir-debate-on-data-centers-1.jpg?w=640&ssl=1\" alt=\"Derek B.
