The Moscow-based Center for Geopolitical Expertise (CGE) is accused of leveraging AI to produce and disseminate deepfakes and disinformation, targeting U.S. political candidates during the 2024 general election. This activity aimed at influencing public opinion and disrupting the electoral process. On December 31, 2024, the U.S. Treasury Department imposed sanctions against the CGE and its director, Valery Korovin, for their reported role in this interference.
