A report by Drop Site has alleged that a campaign linked to Israel sought to influence how artificial intelligence systems respond to questions about the Gaza war.
The report claims a network of pro-Israel websites was created to increase the visibility of certain narratives by affecting search indexing and AI training data, potentially shaping responses generated by chatbots.
The allegations have sparked debate over the growing influence of online information campaigns and the ways digital content can affect artificial intelligence systems.
Experts have increasingly raised concerns about the role of coordinated online efforts in shaping public understanding of major conflicts, as AI tools become a more common source of information for users worldwide.
