Lingo Telecom Fined for Deepfake Biden Robocalls
News summary

Lingo Telecom has been fined $1 million by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for transmitting robocalls that used a deepfake of President Biden's voice to mislead New Hampshire voters ahead of the Democratic primary. The calls, orchestrated by political consultant Steve Kramer, discouraged voters from participating in the election and violated state election laws. In addition to the monetary penalty, Lingo Telecom is required to implement a compliance plan to ensure adherence to caller ID authentication standards. The FCC Chair, Jessica Rosenworcel, emphasized the importance of transparency in communications, particularly when artificial intelligence is involved. Kramer faces severe legal repercussions, including a proposed $6 million fine and multiple criminal charges related to voter intimidation. This case highlights ongoing concerns about election integrity and the potential misuse of AI technologies in political campaigns.
