Company that sent AI calls mimicking Biden to New Hampshire voters agrees to $1-million fine

A company named Lingo Telecom has agreed to pay a $1-million fine after sending deceptive robocalls to New Hampshire voters, using AI to mimic President Biden's voice. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) initially sought a $2-million fine but settled for a lower amount. This incident raises concerns about the potential misuse of AI technology in influencing voters and undermining democratic processes.

Political consultant Steve Kramer, who orchestrated the calls, faces additional penalties, including a proposed $6-million fine from the FCC and state criminal charges. The deceptive messages falsely suggested that participating in the presidential primary would prevent voters from casting ballots in the general election. This case highlights the urgent need for regulations surrounding AI-generated content to protect the integrity of elections and ensure transparency for voters.
