FCC Imposes Hefty Fine on Robocaller Impersonating Biden, Protecting Voters from Electoral Interference

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has concluded a case concerning AI-generated robocalls by assessing a $6 million fine.

According to the FCC, these robocalls used artificial intelligence (AI) to impersonate then-candidate Joe Biden in the lead-up to the 2020 presidential election. The calls reportedly urged recipients to vote for Biden.

The FCC’s investigation determined that the robocalls violated the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA), which prohibits making robocalls without prior express consent. Additionally, the calls used false caller ID information, leading to further TCPA violations.

The fine levied against the responsible parties serves as a reminder of the FCC’s commitment to protecting consumers from illegal robocalls. While robocalls can be valuable communication tools, it is crucial to use them responsibly and in compliance with relevant regulations.
