Lingo Telecom agrees to $1 million fine over AI-generated Biden robocalls

Lingo Telecom has agreed to a $1 million fine after the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) found that the company transmitted fake robocalls using AI technology to impersonate President Joe Biden. These calls aimed to discourage voters from supporting Biden in New Hampshire's Democratic primary. The political consultant behind the calls, Steve Kramer, has also faced charges from the New Hampshire state attorney general's office.

Initially, the FCC proposed a $2 million fine for Lingo, but the settlement includes a compliance plan to ensure adherence to caller ID authentication rules. The case highlights the growing concern over AI-generated content in political communications, especially as the 2024 elections approach. The FCC is considering new regulations requiring disclosures for AI-generated political ads, emphasizing the need for transparency in the electoral process.
