Font size

The operation’s use of millions of voter records, fake social media accounts, a synthetic news site and fabricated dossiers pointed to a deeper risk, analysts said: weak data safeguards and entrenched ethnic and religious fault lines could allow political actors to target voters faster than regulators or platforms can respond.

In a report released on Thursday, the US artificial intelligence firm said it had removed an account that used its Claude model to run what it described as a commercial election manipulation platform across Malaysia’s 222 parliamentary constituencies.

Open Questions

  • Which specific entity operated the removed account?
  • How many voters were directly targeted by the platform?
