Deepfake Audio Used in New Hampshire Primary Robocalls

The incident underscores the growing threat of AI-generated disinformation in US politics, prompting calls for regulatory action.

A fake version of President Biden's voice was used in robocalls to discourage Democrats from participating in the New Hampshire primary.
The audio, likely created using artificial intelligence (AI), is a sign of the growing threat of deepfakes in US politics.
Experts warn that as AI technology becomes more accessible, the risk of AI-generated disinformation increases.
Regulators and lawmakers are being urged to act swiftly to prevent the spread of deepfakes and protect the integrity of elections.
Several states have enacted laws to regulate deepfakes in elections, and a bipartisan bill has been introduced in Congress.
