Hanover Institute – propaganda designed for artificial intelligence For decades, influence operations had one primary target: people. Propaganda was designed to reach newspaper readers, television audiences or users scrolling through Facebook and TikTok. The Hanover Institute for Public Policy suggests that this model is beginning to change. In August 2026, an organisation presenting itself as an American think tank appeared online and, within just nine days, produced an enormous library of pseudo-academic research on Israel, Palestine and the war in Gaza. Yet the intended audience may not have been people at all. The material appears to have been designed, at least in part, to reach systems such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and Perplexity. The Hanover Institute looked professional. It published lengthy “data reports” complete with methodologies, footnotes, tables and references to sources including the World Bank, United Nations agencies, Amnesty International and the Genocide Convention. What was considerably harder to find were the things normally associated with a genuine think tank: named experts, identifiable report authors, a physical headquarters or a clearly defined legal entity. There was, however, a much more revealing trail. Documents filed with the US Department of Justice under the Foreign Agents Registration Act link Piro Inc., via Havas Media Germany, to Israel's Government Advertising Agency, known as LaPam. Hanover itself now states that its material is distributed by Piro on behalf of Havas Media Germany, acting for LaPam. 124 reports in nine days The rate of production was extraordinary, even by the standards of online publishing. Between 6 and 14 August, the Hanover Institute released 124 reports containing more than 560,000 words – an average of roughly 4,500 words per publication. On 12 and 13 August alone, 73 reports appeared, totalling almost 354,000 words. More revealing than the volume was the way the material was structured. Many titles were framed as questions remarkably similar to those a user might ask an AI assistant: “Is anti-Zionism antisemitism?”, “Did Israel expel Palestinians from their land?”, “Is Israel committing genocide in Gaza?”, “Is there a starvation policy in Gaza?” or “Is the IDF the world's most moral army?” This did not resemble the conventional publishing schedule of a research institute. It looked more like the systematic construction of answers to as many contentious questions about Israel and Palestine as possible. The presentation mattered too. These were not crude propaganda leaflets. They were written in restrained, analytical language and packaged with data, references and methodological sections. To a search engine or an AI retrieval system, they could therefore resemble legitimate expert analysis. How to write for a chatbot Some of the most revealing evidence came from the site's technical architecture. Hanover maintained an llms.txt file – a mechanism intended to make website content easier for AI systems to interpret. Reporters also identified signs of technology associated with optimising content for generative search. Piro's own marketing is equally significant. The company advertised an “AI Story Optimization” service concerned with how large language models assess information and construct answers. Its co-founder Daniel Rosenberg has written about understanding how systems such as ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity formulate responses – and how to ensure that an AI system knows the story a client wants to tell. The principle resembles traditional search-engine optimisation, but the target has changed. SEO tries to make a webpage rank highly in Google. Generative Engine Optimisation, or GEO, attempts to make information discoverable, credible and useful to an AI system when it constructs an answer. The chain is potentially straightforward. A user asks a chatbot a question about Israel or Gaza. The system searches for information, encounters a professionally presented Hanover report and uses it as one of the sources from which it builds its response. Propaganda no longer has to reach the user directly. It can first reach the machine, which then delivers the information to a human audience in its own apparently neutral voice. Did it actually work? This is where an important qualification is necessary. There is no evidence that the Hanover Institute “reprogrammed ChatGPT”, altered the underlying parameters of OpenAI, Google or Anthropic models, or permanently poisoned their training data. Describing the operation simply as “poisoning AI” therefore risks overstating what can currently be demonstrated. There is, however, evidence of something more specific. In neutral tests conducted by POLITICO, both ChatGPT and Perplexity cited Hanover Institute material in answers concerning Gaza, anti-Zionism and antisemitism. That suggests the operation achieved at least one of its apparent objectives: in some circumstances, AI systems treated Hanover as a source from which information could be retrieved. What remains unknown is how often this happened, how long the effect persisted and whether it meaningfully altered answers for large numbers of users. It is therefore more accurate to describe Hanover as an attempt to manipulate the retrieval and citation layer of generative AI, rather than as evidence that the underlying models themselves were permanently compromised. The money trail leads back to the Israeli state Unlike many influence operations, attribution here does not depend solely on technical clues. There is a documented financial trail. Piro Inc. registered its US activities under FARA registration number 7732. Filings identify Havas Media Germany as a contractor acting on behalf of the Israel Government Advertising Agency, LaPam. An agreement dated 30 April included $900,000 for a “Digital Storytelling Pilot”, while subsequent documentation referred to a separate $100,000 information initiative. Precision matters. The available documents do not establish that the entire $900,000 was spent specifically on the Hanover Institute. They do, however, show that Piro was conducting communications activity financed through the Israeli state apparatus and aimed at American audiences, while Hanover materials were submitted to the Department of Justice under the same FARA registration. Following scrutiny of the project, Hanover also became considerably more explicit about its funding. Its website now identifies Piro, Havas Media Germany and LaPam. From propaganda for people to propaganda for machines The significance of the Hanover Institute does not depend on proving that the operation was enormously successful. Its importance lies in what it reveals about the changing architecture of influence. The internet is increasingly moving away from a model in which users open ten webpages and compare sources themselves. Instead, they ask ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude or Perplexity a question and receive a synthesised answer. That creates a new point at which the information environment can be manipulated. The traditional model looked something like this: create a misleading article, use accounts or advertising to increase its reach, and place it in front of human users. Hanover suggests another model: build a professional-looking source, publish hundreds of articles structured around questions people ask AI, optimise those materials for generative systems, and allow the chatbot to potentially incorporate them into its own answers. The most consequential feature of this mechanism is that the user may never visit the Hanover Institute website. They may never even know that the organisation exists. Its content only needs to become one ingredient in an answer generated by a system the user trusts. In the age of search engines, governments, companies and campaigners fought over what people would see in Google results. In the age of generative artificial intelligence, an increasingly important battle will be fought over something else: which sources machines use to construct the answers we accept as knowledge.

T'as un club de Div2 ancré territorialement à Toulon: TLNP dans mon sud adoré, qui a gagné sa place en LFL sportivement d'abord, puis avec un dossier en béton, qui a réussi à se hisser en finale de LFL sur le dernier split après une année de travail. Composé de joueurs "inconnus au bataillon", pas d'imports coréens, pas de joueurs LEC. Coachés par Djoko, qui a été meilleur joueur français, et qui fait une transition dans laquelle il TRAVAILLE BIEN. On veut du storytelling? DONNEZ LA POSSIBILITE DE LE CREER SVP. Interviewez nos joueurs, ce qu'ils ont traversé ensemble, ou personnellement pendant cette saison. Demandez à Djoko ce que signifie la compétition pour lui. On peut casser des règles, tordre l'équité sportive pour courtiser des projets d'influenceurs qui ne perf pas, sur l'autel du boost de stats court terme, en crachant au passage au visage de clubs historiques, qui sont réglos, font des paris, des sacrifices depuis des années parce qu'ils ont un rêve autre que juste faire des chiffres et de l'argent. Mais pour une belle histoire qui pourrait s'écrire, la route est barrée. PLANS MAY SHIFT IF YOU HAVE REACH. C'est valable pour TLNP, mais également pour tous les autres clubs de LFL. Arrêtez d'inventer des règles, des compétitions et des récompenses a posteriori, on nous annonce des worlds tier 2 en même temps que l'impossibilité d'y accéder alors qu'on sort d'une finale à la maison et qu'on peut participer aux EMEA. Je comprends qu'on soit en crise, mais respectez-nous au moins. Désolé pour la forme mais il fallait que ça sorte. #LFL #Esport #Toulon

Les derniers sont les premiers ! Champions d’Europe, du Middle East et d’Afrique du Nord, et surtout une des plus grandes histoires de l’esport des dernières années Envoyez tous les youtubeurs storytelling gaming pas gaming gros petit nouveau compteur je sais pas quoi les gars, cette équipe vous enverra au sommet des vues !!!! #Esport #Gaming #Champions

J'ai l'impression qu'ils s'auto-persuadent que c'est le PSG qui a absolument besoin de vendre Barcola alors que c'est le contraire, c'est Liverpool qui est en chien ! Sortez juste le montant minimum demandé depuis 1 mois et demi. On est fatigué de ce storytelling ! Liverpool pense qu'en attendant la deadline du mercato, ça va forcer le PSG à le vendre à leur prix... Comme si ils n'avaient pas vu les négociations pour Kolo Muani avec la Juventus... 🤡 #PSG #Liverpool #Mercato

@habi_250 On vous explique d’un côté que les clubs ne négocient pas par « offre » mais par discussions fluides constantes, puis vous croyez tout ce qu’on lit évoquant des offres écrites refusées. C’est inutile que je me répète, on vous offre du storytelling inutile #Football #Transferts #Storytelling

Se hai competenza su un dato argomento e Report affronta proprio quell’argomento capisci in ventisei secondi netti che è in gran parte fuffa, narrazione, roba sminuzzata sul letto di Procuste delle tesi precostituite e delle convenienze e condita con incalzante storytelling. Lo “spionaggio” digitale dei magistrati da remoto, analfabetismo informatico della peggior specie spacciato per complotto contro il ceto magistratuale, per citarne uno. Ma proprio solo uno, perché si potrebbe proseguire all’infinito. #Informazione #Storia #Società

À les entendre, avant X, la politique était pure. C’est oublier qu’on sort de quarante ans de professionnalisation de la communication politique. Le débat public était façonné par les publicitaires, les spin doctors, les sondages, le storytelling, les éléments de langage, les petites phrases, les séquences télévisées millimétrées, les sourires ultra-brite, les slogans à la con... X constitue un progrès démocratique. il a rendu au public une partie de la capacité de contredire, de vérifier et de répondre directement à ceux qui fabriquaient jusque-là le récit politique. #Politique #Démocratie #Communication

Si Rodri signe bien au Barça, j'espère qu'on apprendra plus tard que c'est Guardiola qui a incité son ancien joueur de ne pas rejoindre l'affreux Mourinho mais plutôt la douce Catalogne. Le storytelling parfait. #Barça #Rodri #Guardiola

Una cosa la devo proprio dire: devono assolutamente tornare a raccontare le storie in ordine cronologico, facendo vedere tutti i falò assieme come una volta e non raccontando a coppie perchè non si capisce veramente un cavolo così #temptationisland #realitytv #storytelling #nostalgia

Der Artikel von Thomas Assheuer untersucht, wie der seit den Gründervätern in den USA verbreitete Verdacht einer ungewählten Elite, die die Demokratie kontrolliert, von historischen Ereignissen bis hin zu modernen Verschwörungstheorien reicht und darauf hinweist, dass berechtigte Elitenkritik oft in toxisches Storytelling umschlägt, wenn die zugrunde liegende soziale Ungleichheit und Machtstrukturen ignoriert werden. #Verschwörungstheorien #WallStreet #Elitenkritik
