OpenAI, in collaboration with Georgetown University and Stanford Internet Observatory, published a report on potential misuses of language models for disinformation campaigns and a framework for mitigations.

## Evidence

Verbatim from https://openai.com/index/forecasting-misuse:

> OpenAI researchers collaborated with Georgetown University’s Center for Security and Emerging Technology and the Stanford Internet Observatory to investigate how large language models might be misused for disinformation purposes. The collaboration included an October 2021 workshop bringing together 30 disinformation researchers, machine learning experts, and policy analysts, and culminated in a co-authored report building on more than a year of research.
