Israel spent tens of millions of dollars on a digital influence campaign designed to shape how artificial intelligence systems respond to questions about the Gaza war, according to a report published Tuesday by Drop Site News. The report alleges that Brad Parscale, President Donald Trump's former campaign manager, and his firm, Clock Tower X, built a network of websites under a $46.5 million contract with the Israeli government to promote Israeli narratives and influence AI platforms including ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity. According to documents cited by Drop Site, Clock Tower X produced hundreds of articles across multiple websites covering the war in Gaza, Israel's military operations and US-Israel relations. The report said the campaign aimed to influence responses generated by large language models (LLMs) by creating content designed to be indexed by search engines and incorporated into AI systems. Although the websites attracted little direct human traffic, they were intended to be read by search engines and AI training systems. Drop Site reported that some AI systems have already cited the websites; in one test, Perplexity referenced Allyvia.org when answering a question about US military cooperation with Israel, while Microsoft's Copilot also cited websites linked to Clock Tower X. The report added that content from the network has entered AI training datasets through Common Crawl, a major web archive used by developers of large language models.
