#肯尼亚

Anthropic公司在发布的一份报告中表示，一名肯尼亚政治操盘手利用该公司的人工智能聊天机器人Claude，在2027年大选前大批量生产赞美政府官员并攻击反对派人物的社交媒体帖子。\n\nAnthropic表示，该行动并未触及或影响到真实人群。但这一发现让人得以一窥生成式人工智能将如何在下一届大选前塑造肯尼亚的政治生态，使相关人员能够制造出看起来像是普通用户发布的协同宣传内容。\n\nAnthropic表示，该公司发现并封禁了一个账号，该账号曾被单个操盘手用来成批生成肯尼亚政治内容，每批恰好50条推文。该操盘手明确指示Claude让这些帖子看起来像是自发的基层评论，而不是协同造势活动的一部分。\n\n这些内容遵循了熟悉的政治模式，许多帖子赞美能源内阁秘书（CS）Opiyo Wandayi处理肯尼亚电力公司（Kenya Power）关税问题的表现，并使用了#PowerReliefKE和#PoweringTheNewKenya等话题标签。其他帖子则散布关于联合反对派联盟（United Opposition）在2027年大选前正在破裂的言论，并将前副总统Rigathi Gachagua和前总统Uhuru Kenyatta作为攻击目标。\n\nAnthropic表示，该行动采用了一套单一的策略来放大亲政府和反反对派的叙事，这种模式与协同选举宣传的努力相一致。该公司并未将此次行动与肯尼亚政府或任何政党直接挂钩，并表示没有发现政府参与的证据。\n\n报告称：“我们没有发现政府参与的证据，”并将该活动描述为“完全属于肯尼亚本土的行动”。Anthropic表示，该网络亲政府的基调和特定的标签表明它可能与执政联盟立场一致，但该公司无法确定幕后的组织或个人。

A Kenyan political operator used Anthropic’s chatbot Claude to mass-produce social media posts praising government officials and targeting opposition figures ahead of the 2027 general election, the company said in a report.

Anthropic said the operation did not reach or influence real people. But its discovery offers an early glimpse of how generative AI could shape Kenya’s political ecosystem ahead of the next election, enabling actors to manufacture coordinated propaganda that looks like it came from ordinary users.

Anthropic said it identified and removed an account used by a single actor to generate Kenyan political content in batches of exactly 50 tweets. The actor explicitly instructed Claude to make the posts appear to be spontaneous grassroots commentary rather than part of a coordinated campaign.

The content followed a familiar political pattern, with many posts praising Energy Cabinet Secretary (CS) Opiyo Wandayi over a Kenya Power tariff issue and using hashtags such as #PowerReliefKE and #PoweringTheNewKenya. Other posts pushed claims that the United Opposition coalition was breaking apart ahead of the 2027 election and targeted former deputy president Rigathi Gachagua and former president Uhuru Kenyatta.

Anthropic said the campaign used a single playbook to amplify pro-government and anti-opposition narratives, a pattern consistent with a coordinated electoral communications effort. The company stopped short of linking the operation to the Kenyan government or any political party, saying it found no evidence of government involvement.

“We found no evidence of government involvement,” the report said, describing the activity as consistent with “an entirely domestic Kenyan operation.” Anthropic said the network’s pro-administration tone and specific hashtags suggested it was plausibly aligned with the ruling coalition, but it could not identify the organisation or people behind it.
