"Magician Claims Democratic Operative Paid for Fake Biden Robocall"

A Democratic consultant allegedly paid a magician to use AI to create a fake Biden robocall urging New Hampshire Democrats not to vote in the state’s presidential primary. The magician, Paul Carpenter, claims he was hired by Steve Kramer, who worked for Democratic presidential candidate Dean Phillips, and was paid $150 for the job. Carpenter regrets his involvement and warns about the ease of using AI to mislead. The robocall is under investigation for possible violations of state voter suppression and federal telecom laws, drawing attention from law enforcement officials. Steve Kramer has worked on numerous campaigns and has a history of controversy. The public portion of the investigation has focused on a Texas telemarketing company that distributed the robocalls.

"Texas Firm Linked to Fake Biden Robocall Scandal"

A Texas company called Life Corporation, along with an individual named Walter Monk, has been traced as the source of a fake Biden robocall that discouraged voting in New Hampshire. The robocall used an artificially generated clone of President Biden's voice and was found to have illegally spoofed caller ID information. Tech firms assisted in tracing the calls, and the FCC is taking action against the telecom provider involved. The use of AI-generated voices in robocalls may soon be declared illegal under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act.
