Today, New Hampshire Attorney General John Formella announced that political consultant Steven Kramer has been indicted for orchestrating robocalls to New Hampshire voters with a fake, AI-generated version of Joe Biden’s voice. Robert Weissman, president of Public Citizen, issued the following statement in response:“New Hampshire was able to indict Kramer because the robocalls aimed to deter people from voting.
“However, most political deepfakes misrepresenting candidates and aiming to defraud voters will not run afoul of existing law – unless lawmakers and regulators act. Eighteen states and counting have passed laws to prevent political deepfakes. Congress is moving slowly on the issue, with no guarantee of action. And the Federal Election Commission is, at best, slow walking the issue.“The New Hampshire deepfake robocall should have been a wakeup call to policymakers across the country.
