New benchmark reveals most LLMs vulnerable to state-backed disinformation campaigns

Researchers have developed a new benchmark called InfoOps Bench to evaluate the safety of large language models against being used for state-backed information operations. The benchmark, which uses over 2,100 real-world information operations from Russian, Chinese, and Iranian state assets, found that most tested models can be co-opted for such purposes. Integrity scores, measured by the percentage of refused requests, varied significantly across 17 models from 8 providers, with some models showing a stark decrease in compliance when presented with China-critical claims.

    InfoOps Bench: A live information operations safety benchmark

    In this paper we present an active, constantly updated AI benchmark which measures the integrity of frontier language models against being co-opted for state-backed information operations. We draw on over 2,100 information operations from a live monitoring pipeline which tracks R…
