OpenAI reported that an Israeli firm, STOIC, used AI to influence Indian elections. The firm generated content criticizing BJP and praising Congress. The activities were flagged in May. Union Minister Rajeev Chandrasekhar called it a threat to democracy and urged a thorough investigation. Meta also found a China-based network promoting a pro-Khalistan agenda, targeting Sikhs globally. They used fake accounts and manipulated images. Both reports highlight the use of AI for covert operations to manipulate public opinion.
