FCC fines political consultant $6 million for deepfake robocalls
Briefly

Steve Kramer, a political consultant, faces a $6 million fine from the FCC for illegal robocalls utilizing deepfake AI to mislead voters during the primaries.
Kramer violated the Truth in Caller ID Act, which prohibits misleading caller information. The FCC has officially agreed that this includes AI deepfakes.
The robocalls used deepfake technology to mimic President Biden, telling voters to refrain from participating in the primary election, misleading them ahead of the election.
Kramer claims the robocalls were meant to highlight the dangers of technology misuse, even as he jeopardized the electoral process with deceptive tactics.
