Report says Israel funds networks to shape AI chatbot answers
Original: Israel has funded networks of websites and contractors designed to shape how AI chatbots answer questions about Palestin

The effort is described as part of a 'cognitive warfare' and public diplomacy campaign with a budget of roughly $400 million, raising concerns about manipulation of AI-generated information.
Why now: Claims of state-funded influence operations targeting AI chatbots are alarming and touch ongoing debates about the Gaza war and information warfare.
