Blocking Malicious Use of AI

OpenAI is focused on preventing the misuse of AI tools and building Democratic AI to ensure that artificial general intelligence (AGI) benefits all of humanity.

This report contains specific case studies of detecting and blocking malicious use of AI models. The main targets of response are as follows:

• Attempts by authoritarian regimes to abuse power and control citizens
• Child exploitation, fraud, and spam activities
• Covert influence operations (IO) and malicious cyber activities

Over the past year, OpenAI has continued to publish reports in collaboration with the US and allied governments and industry partners to prevent misuse by adversarial actors. The core goal is to protect Democratic AI from adversarial forces by leveraging AI-powered investigative capabilities.
