OpenAI Russia Influence Campaign: Major Exposure

### Executive summary OpenAI identified and disrupted a Russia-linked influence campaign that used banned ChatGPT accounts and a fabricated front organization (International Burke Institute) to generate and amplify multilingual, AI-assisted social-media content, recycled academic material and misleading authorship across platforms (X, LinkedIn, Facebook, Substack, Telegram); the operation showed signs of VPN use, machine translation artifacts, and an infrastructure designed to manufacture credibility and promote pro-Russian narratives.
