Magician's Involvement in AI Political Scandal Unveiled
A New Orleans street magician, Paul Carpenter, found himself at the center of an AI political scandal after creating an AI-generated robocall imitating President Joe Biden's voice, which urged Democrats to skip voting in the New Hampshire primary. Carpenter, who has never voted, claimed he was hired by a political consultant working for the campaign of Minnesota Rep. Dean Phillips. The robocall has sparked law enforcement investigations and concerns about AI's impact on American politics. The consultant, Steve Kramer, has been linked to the call and has a history of producing robocalls, but Phillips' campaign has distanced itself from him. Carpenter, who says he didn't realize the political implications of his work, feels duped and used by Kramer.
