Robocall Defendant Found Not Guilty: AI Defense Accepted
A New Hampshire jury acquitted Steven Kramer, a New Orleans political operative, on all charges related to AI-generated robocalls mimicking President Biden. Kramer, who admitted to creating the calls urging New Hampshire voters to skip the 2024 primary, claimed his actions were a demonstration against the dangers of AI. Despite the acquittal, the Attorney General affirmed his commitment to upholding election laws in the face of emerging technologies. Subsequent to the incident, Kramer and Lingo Telecom, the call delivery company, faced substantial fines from the Federal Communications Commission.
