Robocall Using Fake Joe Biden Voice Traced Back To Texas Company
HuffPost
New Hampshire Attorney General John Formella called the robocall "a real-life example of an attempt to use AI to interfere with an election."
The New Hampshire attorney general on Tuesday detailed a criminal investigation into a robocall that reached thousands of New Hampshire residents ahead of the state’s presidential primary last month, in which an AI-generated Joe Biden voice urged Democrats not to vote.
During a press conference, New Hampshire Attorney General John Formella said that investigators had traced the Jan. 21 calls to Life Corporation, a Texas-based company whose owner Formella identified as Walter Monk. He also said that Lingo Telecom, another Texas-based company, was the “originating service provider” for the calls.
Neither company immediately responded to HuffPost’s request for comment about what Formella shared. He said investigators had also identified other entities “who are not necessarily responsible for the calls but who we believe have pertinent information.”
The state attorney general said he hadn’t seen anything like the phony Biden robocall before last month.
“I think this case is unique in that it’s providing us a real-life example of an attempt to use AI to interfere with an election,” Formella said. “That’s been something we’ve been concerned about in the law enforcement community for a while, and certainly something that the state attorneys general have talked about, but we have not seen as concrete an example as this, days before a primary, an attempt to use AI to interfere with an election.”
