OpenAI says it has disrupted more than 20 operations and deceptive networks to prevent threat actors in the year of global elections.
In an October report, the company behind ChatGPT said they “know it is particularly important to build robust, multi-layered defenses against state-linked cuber actors and covert influence operations that may attempt to use our models in furtherance of deceptive campaigns on social media and other internet platforms.”
Threat actors are a group of people who intentionally cause harm in the cyber sphere. OpenAI has disrupted activity that generated social media content about the elections in the United States, Rwanda, India, and the European Union.

TikTok parent company, ByteDance, is reportedly laying off hundreds of employees as it moves towards enhancing its AI-based content moderation. The company announced on Friday (Oct. 11) that a large number of staff would be cut in Malaysia. According to sources cited by Reuters, around 500 employees in the country were affected.
The layoffs largely impacted content moderation teams, who were notified through email on Wednesday. TikTok reportedly confirmed the global workforce reductions, which affected several hundred employees as part of the company’s efforts to streamline its moderation operations. The social media firm uses a combination of automated systems and human moderators to manage content oversight.
