FCC Fines Lingo Telecom $1M for AI Biden Robocalls in New Hampshire
Aug 21, 2024, 07:50 PM
Lingo Telecom has agreed to pay a $1 million fine after being implicated in the transmission of deepfake robocalls that impersonated President Joe Biden. These robocalls, which used generative AI voice-cloning technology, were intended to dissuade voters ahead of the New Hampshire Democratic primary election. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) identified Lingo Telecom as the perpetrator of these spoofed calls, which were designed to spread disinformation. The settlement marks a significant enforcement action by the FCC against the misuse of AI in political communications.
