Israel hires ex-Trump aide for AI influence campaign

Israel has launched a campaign to shape how AI systems like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini describe the country. To lead the effort, Israel has hired Brad Parscale, a former senior adviser and 2020 campaign manager for President Donald Trump. The multimillion-dollar project involves creating websites, social media topics, chats, and forums with content that can be fed to AI systems to influence their responses. The strategy, reported by Axios, aims to ensure AI-generated content aligns with Israel's preferred narratives.
