Texas-based Company Linked to AI Biden Robocalls in New Hampshire
Authorities open criminal investigation and issue cease-and-desist letters to Life Corporation and its owner.
- New Hampshire authorities have identified Texas-based Life Corporation as the source of AI-generated robocalls impersonating President Biden, urging Democrats not to vote in the state's primary.
- A criminal investigation has been opened against Life Corporation and its owner, Walter Monk, with cease-and-desist letters sent by both state and federal officials.
- The robocalls, estimated to have reached between 5,000 and 25,000 voters, falsely told recipients to 'save your vote for the November election,' potentially affecting voter turnout.
- The incident marks a significant use of AI to interfere in elections, raising concerns about the need for more robust policies and safeguards against digital election interference.
- Authorities are issuing subpoenas and preparing for potential civil litigation against Life Corporation and another Texas-based company, Lingo Telecom, involved in transmitting the calls.
