OpenAI is launching an Election Operations Center this week. It will run until all midterm votes are counted. The center will identify misuse of its tools to spread misinformation. It will also field reports of unexpected model behavior. Josh Lawson will lead the center. The move addresses concerns about AI distorting the midterms. OpenAI aims to defend the democratic process. Bad actors are attempting to use AI tools to disrupt elections.
