Summary
Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel, collaborating with the national Anti-Robocall Multistate Litigation Task Force, has issued a warning letter to Life Corporation regarding alleged AI-powered robocalls. These calls reportedly used AI to impersonate President Joe Biden, aiming to deter voters during the New Hampshire primary election last month. The letter warns Life Corp and its executives to immediately cease unlawful call traffic, citing potential violations of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, Truth in Caller ID Act, and state consumer protection laws. This action is part of broader enforcement efforts, with the New Hampshire Attorney General issuing a cease-and-desist letter against Life Corp and the FCC issuing one against Lingo Telecom for supporting illegal robocall traffic.
