In January 2024, New Hampshire voters got robocalls featuring President Biden's voice telling them not to vote in the state's primary. ‘Save your vote for November’ said the AI-generated voice. Sounded legit, especially with the distortion effect which added authenticity. The FCC later fined consultant Steve Kramer $6 million and ruled such uses of AI-cloned voices in robocalls illegal. We can check this kind of audio with our AI Audio Detector. The voice showed synthetic patterns, such as slightly robotic tone and unnatural pacing. Classic voice cloning fraud.
Deepfake political audio weaponizes AI for voter suppression. These AI-generated robocalls manipulate elections. Before trusting political messages, run suspicious audio through an audio detector. Real politicians don't tell you not to vote.
