Chinese propagandists stoking dissent over Trump tariffs and data centres, OpenAI says
Chinese propagandists have been trying to use OpenAI’s flagship chatbot to gin up opposition to Donald Trump’s tariffs and intervene in American debates over data centres and AI, OpenAI said in a report published on Wednesday. The company said its efforts, dating to late 2025 and early 2026, appeared to have had little or no effect, but it is another indication of how central generative AI is becoming in digital influence campaigns – even those aimed against AI companies
OpenAI has reported that Chinese state-backed actors attempted to leverage its AI chatbot for influence operations in the United States. These efforts, observed in late 2025 and early 2026, aimed to foster opposition to former President Trump's tariffs and influence discussions surrounding data centers and artificial intelligence. Despite these attempts, OpenAI indicated that the campaigns had minimal impact.
This highlights the growing role of generative AI in sophisticated digital influence campaigns, even when directed against the technology companies themselves.
