Texas man fined for fake Biden robocalls in New Hampshire

(The Center Square) — A Texas man will pay more fines after using an AI-generated copy of then-President Joe Biden’s voice that urged New Hampshire Democrats not to vote in the 2024 presidential primary. 
The ruling by U.S. District Court judge Steven J. McAuliffe accepted a special magistrate’s report and recommendations that previously ordered Steve Kramer to pay $7,500 in damages with post-judgment interest to each of the three individual plaintiffs involved in the lawsuit. The judge ordered a default judgment against Kramer, who has refused to participate in the court proceedings.  
The League of Women Voters, one of several groups that signed onto the lawsuit, praised the ruling and said it will prevent unscrupulous groups and individuals from using the technology to spread lies and misinformation.
