Robocaller behind AI Biden deepfake faces charges and hefty FCC fine


A political consultant who admitted to using a deepfake of President Joe Biden's voice in a robocall scheme is facing dozens of charges, as well as a $6 million FCC fine.

Named Umoja (a Swahili word meaning “unity”), the project will start in Kenya and pass through several other African nations before crossing the Indian Ocean to the land down under. NASA announced last night that the Starliner team is now targeting a June 1 launch as engineers continue to assess the vehicle in the wake of discovering a helium leak from the propulsion system earlier this month.
