What to know

  • Three major AI chatbots (ChatGPT, Grok, Claude) were found to surface content from EU-sanctioned Russian state outlets RT and Sputnik without warning users of the sources' banned status.
  • The chatbots sometimes provided summaries with links and quotes even after encountering explicit web page warnings that the outlets were under sanctions.
  • The investigation was conducted by Reporters Without Borders, tested six AI chatbots total, and raises questions about AI compliance with international sanctions and media regulation.
