"Former Campaign Consultant Confesses to Creating Fake Biden Robocall"

A former consultant for Democratic Rep. Dean Phillips’ campaign admitted to orchestrating a fake robocall using an AI-generated voice of President Joe Biden to discourage New Hampshire voters from participating in the state’s primary. The consultant, Steve Kramer, revealed that he used an AI tool to create the fake audio, which was distributed by a Texas-based company. The incident has prompted law enforcement investigations and concerns about the impact of AI on American politics, leading to proposed legislation to make AI-generated robocalls illegal and increased fines for violations. Phillips’ campaign confirmed Kramer's previous contract work but denied knowledge of his involvement in the robocall, while Kramer claimed his actions have prompted necessary regulatory changes.
