Tennessee’s Attorney General along with 50 bipartisan attorneys general on the nationwide Anti-Robocall Multistate Litigation Task Force have sent a warning letter to Life Corporation (Life Corp), the Texas-based telecommunications company that allegedly sent New Hampshire residents scam election robocalls during the New Hampshire primary election. The calls reportedly used artificial intelligence (A.I.) to impersonate the voice of President Joe Biden and discouraged New Hampshire residents from voting in the primary. Life Corp was told to stop any unlawful call traffic immediately.
The Federal Communications Commission’s Enforcement Bureau also issued a cease-and-desist letter against Lingo Telecom, another Texas-based company, which was identified to have originated a portion of these calls for Life Corp, demanding that it immediately stop supporting illegal robocall traffic on its networks.
Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti said, “Using A.I. to spam voters’ phones with robocalls and inaccurate election information is illegal and fundamentally anti-American. Not to mention, it’s creepy.”
