AI safety company Anthropic has said it detected and disrupted an influence operation linked "with high confidence" to UAE government officials, which used its Claude chatbot to generate disinformation targeting the Muslim Brotherhood and United Nations experts critical of Abu Dhabi's alleged role in Sudan's civil war. The operation compiled so-called "counter-accountability dossiers" on UN special rapporteurs, impersonated a genuine Sudanese human rights organisation, and ghost-wrote testimonies intended for delivery at the UN Human Rights Council (the top UN rights body) under instructions that neither speech mention the UAE — running roughly 300 fake social media accounts in total. The disclosure comes amid Sudan's devastating war, ongoing since April 2023 between the army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, which has killed more than 200,000 people and triggered what the UN calls one of the world's worst humanitarian crises; the UAE has repeatedly denied accusations of arming the RSF.
