The League of Women Voters has initiated legal action against a political consultant and two Texas companies for their involvement in distributing robocalls that used artificial intelligence to mimic President Joe Biden's voice, urging New Hampshire voters to abstain from participating in the state's presidential primary in January. This lawsuit aims to prohibit the future use of AI for such deceptive practices. In a broader context, concerns about AI-generated disinformation affecting elections are escalating. The EU Commission has called for Big Tech to mitigate the risks of AI-generated election interference, while companies like OpenAI and Microsoft face scrutiny for their image creation tools' potential to spread misleading content. Additionally, the AI image-generator Midjourney has taken preemptive steps by blocking the generation of images featuring Donald Trump or Joe Biden, reflecting a growing awareness of the need to safeguard electoral integrity against AI-enabled misinformation.
