Leading AI Models Reportedly Found to Mimic Russian Disinformation in 33% of Cases and to Cite Fake Moscow News Sites

June 18, 2024

An audit by NewsGuard uncovered that leading chatbots, such as ChatGPT-4 and You.com’s Smart Assistant, mimicked Russian disinformation narratives in about one-third of their responses. The disinformation originated from a network of fake news sites associated with John Mark Dougan (Incident 701). The audit tested 570 prompts across 10 AI chatbots, highlighting the persistent challenge of using AI responsibly to prevent misinformation.
