Lingo Telecom, the voice service provider that transmitted robocalls to New Hampshire voters using artificial intelligence to mimic President Biden’s voice, agreed to the settlement to resolve enforcement action taken by the Federal Communications Commission.

Steve Kramer is seated Wednesday, June 5, 2024, at Superior Court, in Laconia, N.H., during his arraignment in connection with charges of voter suppression and impersonating a candidate.

The case is seen by many as an unsettling early example of how AI might be used to influence groups of voters and democracy as a whole.$6 million FCC fineThe phone messages were sent to thousands of New Hampshire voters on Jan. 21. They featured a voice similar to Biden’s falsely suggesting that voting in the state’s presidential primary would preclude them from casting ballots in the November general election.

The FCC said that as well as agreeing to the civil fine, Lingo Telecom had agreed to strict caller ID authentication rules and requirements and to more thoroughly verify the accuracy of the information provided by its customers and upstream providers. Lingo Telecom did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The company had earlier said it strongly disagreed with the FCC’s action, calling it an attempt to impose new rules retroactively.
