Political Consultant Fined $6 Million for AI-Generated Biden Robocalls

Steven Kramer faces significant penalties and charges for using deepfake technology to mimic President Biden's voice in an attempt to influence New Hampshire voters.

The Federal Communications Commission has issued a $6 million fine to Steven Kramer for violating the Truth in Caller ID Act.
Kramer used AI-generated deepfake technology to create robocalls that falsely imitated President Joe Biden's voice.
The robocalls aimed to dissuade voters from participating in New Hampshire's Democratic primary, urging them to wait until November.
Kramer hired New Orleans magician Paul Carpenter to produce the deepfake recordings using ElevenLabs' AI technology.
In addition to the FCC fine, Kramer faces multiple felony and misdemeanor charges for voter suppression and impersonation of a political candidate.
