Political Consultant Behind Fake Biden Robocalls in NH Says Goal Was to Highlight AI Dangers
- Political consultant Steve Kramer was behind fake Biden robocalls in NH to highlight need for AI rules
- Calls used AI to mimic Biden's voice and falsely said voting in primary precluded voting in November
- Kramer says he acted alone to draw attention to dangers of AI, not influence primary outcome
- Paid New Orleans magician $150 to create message sent to thousands of voters before NH primary
- Kramer subpoenaed by FCC, says he wanted to "wake up the whole country" to potential misuse of AI
