"AI-Generated Fake Biden Robocalls Raise Deepfake Concerns"

A fake robocall impersonating President Joe Biden and telling New Hampshire residents not to vote in the state’s Democratic presidential primary is likely an AI-generated deepfake, according to disinformation experts. The call, described as an "unlawful attempt" to suppress voters, is of unknown origin and features a voice that sounds like Biden's but with a clipped cadence. Experts warn that AI programs capable of creating convincing voice replications are widely available, making it easy to mimic public figures. While federal law criminalizes attempts to suppress voting, there is little regulation around using AI deceptively, and the incident highlights the potential dangers of deepfake technology in spreading disinformation and suppressing votes.
