Trump alum helps Israel mount AI influence campaign

Israel has launched a multimillion-dollar campaign — spearheaded by a former top lieutenant of President Trump — to reshape how AI platforms portray the nation.

Why it matters: Platforms like ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini are increasingly central to shaping perceptions — and countries, corporations and other powerful interests are spending big to influence them.

How it works: Market Brew, an online search and AI modeling company that Parscale’s firm invests in, got to work on injecting Israel-friendly content into the online bloodstream. The goal: To present the information in such a way that it would be ingested by AI platforms.

      I got tired all these politics and modern warfare. It’s just a bottomless pit. Bunch of lies are on television everyday.

      The most painful thing is that they see people as beings whose perceptions need to be manipulated, who need to be controlled.They are spending millions of dollars on this endeavor.

      While artificial intelligence should be used to develop fields like agriculture, farming, healthcare, chemistry, and biology, the fact that it’s only being used for perception management through fake websites disgusts me.

        When I said “got tired” I meant Israel got tire, not you, op. Sorry for the confusion.

        Your feelings on the matter are valid.

          Not only Israel got tired. Also I am tired as a Muslim Turkish citizen. This endless hostility between the western civilization and the east of civilization made tired everybody. Everybody hates each other even though they don’t know each other because of this military operations. For 3 years televisions had pumped this hatred and hostility. Because of the government policies of countries everybody judged each other. Visa procedures at the borders have changed.Their behavior changed when they saw a Muslim or a Jew outside.Everyone is very tense because of these events and wants them to end.Living in the modern age is already difficult, and this added stress makes it even harder.Economic crises arise due to embargo policies imposed by countries on each other.The war in the Middle East has spread to my country as well. We have seen price increases of up to 300% in basic consumer goods.Petroleum products have seen a massive price increase.And right now everyone is blaming someone or some people because of this.It basically arose because of one man’s ambition.And he needs to finish this war the way he started it.
