The company will pay the amount of fine which is $1 million for doing the act in which it generated the fake calls in the face and voice of Joe Biden, President of America to voters for their votes using artificial intelligence technology.
Those fake calls were the contribution of Lingo Telecom, the voice provider that transmitted the robocalls, ready to agree to the settlement to sort out the matter and enforcement action released by the Federal Communications Commission, which was earlier raised at a $2 million fine.

The matter of using Artificial Intelligence Technology to spoil the voting system in a world full of democratic value can be seen in this example where a group of people working to affect the US Elections.
This message of fake calls was sent to thousands of New Hampshire voters on Jan 21 in featured a voice similar to Biden’s in which he has been seen suggesting that if you vote in the state’s presidential primary then you all will be precluded from casting ballots in the November general elections.
A team of several people used to record this video in which a magician called Kramer who described himself as a “digital nomad” said he was not trying to leave its influence on the outcome of the primary, but he rather wanted to highlight the potential dangers of AI and spur technology running these days in all across the world.
The telecom company Lino Telecom had agreed to follow strict measures on all caller facilities like caller ID authentication rules and requirements and to more thoroughly check the accuracy of the information provided by its customers and upstream providers. The details are told by the FCC.
“Everyone of us deserves to know that the voice on the line is exactly who they claim to be,” the statement of FCC chairperson Jessica Rosenworcel. “If AI is being used, that should be made clear to any customer, citizen, and voter who encounters it. The FCC will act when trust in our communication networks is on the line.”
