Russia Used AI to Interfere in 2024 US Election: Treasury Department Report
The Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) has designated the IRGC’s Cognitive Design Production Center (CDPC) and the Moscow-based Center for Geopolitical Expertise (CGE), along with its director Valery Korovin, for election interference. These entities, acting as affiliates of the IRGC and GRU respectively, engaged in disinformation campaigns and influence operations aimed at disrupting the 2024 U.S. election. The sanctions build upon previous actions targeting Iranian and Russian interference and utilize Executive Order 13848, the U.S. election interference authority, among others. These designations freeze U.S. assets and prohibit transactions with the named entities and individuals.
