Anthropic Reports UAE-Linked AI Campaign Targeting Sudan Conflict Narratives
AI firm Anthropic reported detecting and disrupting a UAE-linked influence operation targeting the Muslim Brotherhood and UN experts critical of Abu Dhabi's alleged involvement in Sudan's conflict. The campaign used Anthropic's Claude chatbot to generate content, including reports and testimonies, aiming to influence narratives around Sudan's war between the army and Rapid Support Forces. The UAE denies accusations of supporting the RSF. The operation also involved impersonating a Sudanese human rights group and drafting testimonies for the UN Human Rights Council.
