The U.S. has imposed sanctions on Iran's Cognitive Design Production Center (CDPC) and Russia's Centre for Geopolitical Expertise (CGE) for using AI and cyber technologies to interfere in the 2024 presidential election. These entities, linked to the IRGC and GRU, created disinformation campaigns using generative AI and deepfake technology to mislead voters. The sanctions freeze their U.S. assets and prohibit American entities from engaging with them, aiming to protect democratic processes.
