Binance has become a victim of a smear campaign by an AI-powered chatbot that spreads false information regarding its founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ) and his supposed affiliation with the Chinese Communist Party.
Binance has reportedly received dozens of inquiries from congressional offices regarding CZ and his connection to the China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC) over the past couple of days.
The requests are in relation to a conversation by ChatGPT, which claims that CZ created a social media platform for CNPC.
However, Patrick Hillmann, the Chief Strategy Officer of Binance, disclosed that the information had no factual basis. According to Hillman, ChatGPT obtained this information from a fabricated LinkedIn profile that does not exist and a Forbes article, which is also non-existent.
Hillman criticized ChatGPT for misleading people and damaging Binance’s reputation. He also noted that Binance has been channeling significant time and resources into exploring how blockchain technology and AI can work together.
