BJP slams OpenAI for late report on ‘dangerous threat’ to Lok Sabha polls

A campaign nicknamed “Zero Zeno”, run by Israeli political campaign management firm STOIC, tried to influence the ongoing Lok Sabha elections in India, according to OpenAI, the creators of ChatGPT.

Responding to OpenAI’s report, ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) labeled this a “dangerous threat” to democracy, stating that OpenAI should have informed the public when the threat was first detected in May.

“It is absolutely clear and obvious that BJP was and is the target of influence operations, misinformation, and foreign interference, being done by and/or on behalf of some Indian political parties,” said Minister of State for Electronics and IT Rajeev Chandrasekhar on X (formerly Twitter).
