The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has proposed a hefty $6 million fine against a political consultant for allegedly using AI-generated voice cloning and caller ID spoofing to spread election-related misinformation.
“Political consultant Steve Kramer was responsible for the calls and now faces a $6 million proposed fine for perpetrating this illegal robocall campaign on January 21, 2024,” the FCC said in a statement.
The FCC alleged that Kramer orchestrated a robocall campaign that featured a deepfake of President Joe Biden’s voice, urged New Hampshire voters not to participate in the January primary, asking them to “save your vote for the November election.”
