A sprawling Russian disinformation network is manipulating Western AI chatbots to spew pro-Kremlin propaganda, researchers say, at a time when the United States is reported to have paused its cyber operations against Moscow.

Rather than trying to influence readers directly, the 'Pravda' misinformation network spreads false information, intending for it to be used in training AI chatbots like ChatGPT or Grok.

AI chatbots are unknowingly amplifying Russian disinformation, a report warns. Pravda’s propaganda network is influencing chatbot responses, raising trust concerns.

Russian propaganda may be influencing certain answers from AI chatbots including OpenAI's ChatGPT and Meta's Meta AI, according NewsGuard.
