In a startling incident ahead of the New Hampshire primary elections, voters received a robo-call falsely using President Joe Biden’s voice to discourage Democratic participation.
New Hampshire Attorney General John Formella has launched an investigation into what appears to be an illegal attempt to influence the election and suppress voter turnout.
NBC News first reported the fraudulent call, brought to light by Biden supporters advocating for a write-in campaign.
Biden’s campaign manager condemned the message as disinformation aimed at voter suppression.
This event raises concerns about the misuse of generative AI in creating deceptive content, especially in political contexts.
Both the campaign of former President Donald Trump and Democrat Dean Phillips, a presidential candidate, denied involvement in this misleading robocall.
