A detailed Chinese government secret was accidentally leaked after a Chinese law enforcement official attempted to use ChatGPT to stage a smear campaign against the Japanese prime minister. OpenAI said it banned the account after discovering China’s clandestine strategy of conducting covert influence operations and transnational repression. The Chinese official was using ChatGPT to track their clandestine network and revealed that they were impersonating U.S. immigration officials to intimidate Chinese citizens living in the United States.The Chinese operators apparently posed as U.S. immigration officials to warn Chinese dissidents living in the United States; they also attempted to forge U.S. state court documents to delete a Chinese dissident’s social media account, OpenAI’s report said.
“This is not digitalization, not a prank, but industrialization”
OpenAI principal researcher Ben Nimmo explains that the operation looks industrial. “This isn’t just digital. This isn’t just a spoof. It’s industrial. This is about attacking critics of the Chinese Communist Party. [Chinese Communist Party] Everything, everywhere, happening at the same time. “The Chinese Embassy did not respond to the report. OpenAI doesn’t just follow what officials tell ChatGPT. Investigators matched ChatGPT user descriptions with real-world online activity. For example, the official described how they created a false obituary for a Chinese dissident to spread rumors. And such a thing did happen in 2023.
“Developing a multi-part plan to discredit the incoming Japanese Prime Minister”
The Chinese official asked ChatGPT to develop a multifaceted plan to smear then-incoming Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, in part by fanning online anger over U.S. tariffs on Japanese goods. OpenAI said ChatGPT did not respond to prompts. But after the freshman came to power, tags appeared on popular forums for Japanese graphic artists attacking her and complaining about U.S. tariffs.

A prosecutor in Milan has ordered Deliveroo’s Italian unit to be placed under court administration, accusing the food delivery service of exploiting its workers.
Milan prosecutor orders Deliveroo unit to come under court administration
The same prosecutor, Paolo Storari, who two weeks ago also ordered the Italian subsidiary of rival Glovo to be placed under court administration for underpaying workers, signed the measure on Monday, along with the appointment of a judicial administrator.
Court documents seen by AFP show that around 23,000 Deliveroo riders in Italy are paid “in some cases 90% below the poverty line and collective bargaining agreements”.
Prosecutors said “genuine labor exploitation” at Milan-based Deliveroo Italy had gone on for years.
Deliveroo, part of DoorDash, is one of several food delivery companies operating in Italy.
“Deliveroo is reviewing the documents it received from the authorities and is cooperating with the investigation,” the company said in a statement to AFP.
More than 50 Deliveroo riders, mostly foreigners, submitted statements to prosecutors saying they earned around 3 to 5 euros per delivery, depending on the distance.
Prosecutors found: “A substantial number of riders were paid despite claiming to have worked significantly more hours than a normal work week and had an annual net income below the poverty line.”
Last week, a Milan court ordered Glovo’s Italian subsidiary Foodinho to regularize its 40,000 riders, after the company had earlier been placed under judicial administration.
The survey found that many riders were paid an average of around €2.50 per delivery.
In 2021, Italian courts ordered Glovo, Uber Eats, Deliveroo and Just Eat to regulate the situation of 60,000 delivery drivers and riders and pay huge fines.
Similar cases have occurred in other European countries.
In 2024, the European Union passed a directive requiring member states to classify online platform workers as employees under certain conditions.
But the EU leaves it to each state to decide for itself which criteria must be met.
