In a public service announcement, the FBI is raising awareness about efforts by foreign actors to spread false information regarding the upcoming General Election. According to the FBI, malicious actors from Russia and Iran are the primary sources of disinformation, seeking to erode public trust in the election process.
The FBI reassures the public that U.S. election infrastructure remains secure, but warns that citizens should expect an increase in false claims about election integrity, particularly fueled by artificial intelligence tools. The agency urges voters to stay informed and cautious when encountering election-related content, especially as Election Day approaches.
