An American telecommunications company was fined 1 million dollars for a fraudulent automated call involving the falsification of President Joe Biden's voice, which was generated with the help of artificial intelligence, DPA reported, quoted by BTA.
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) announced that Lingo Telecom has agreed to pay the fine and has also committed to implementing a due diligence program for customers who use the company's data networks.

The fraudulent robocall, with a voice that misleadingly sounded like Biden's, was made to voters in New Hampshire in January. It urged people not to participate in the state's Democratic primary.
Biden's voice was generated using artificial intelligence software, and the sender information was also falsified to look like a Democratic political committee.
"Each of us deserves to know that the voice on the line is who he says he is," said Federal Communications Commission Chairman Jessica Rosenworcel. "If artificial intelligence is used, this must be clear to every user, citizen and voter," she added.
