Chinese Official’s ChatGPT Diary Exposes Global Repression Network

A Chinese official accidentally exposed Beijing’s massive transnational repression campaign by using ChatGPT as a personal diary to document covert operations. According to a new OpenAI report, this industrialized network targeted dissidents worldwide. Operatives impersonated US immigration officials, forged American court documents, and even faked a prominent dissident's death online. The official also detailed plans to run smear campaigns against Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi. OpenAI banned the user after discovering the extensive activity. Experts warn this unprecedented breach highlights how authoritarian regimes are actively weaponizing artificial intelligence to execute and track global intimidation networks.
