ElevenLabs reportedly banned the account that deepfaked Biden’s voice with its AI tools

ElevenLabs found itself in hot water after a user created a deepfake audio clip of Joe Biden, which was then used in a robocall to disrupt the elections in New Hampshire. The security firm Pindrop confirmed that ElevenLabs’ tools were used to generate the deepfake audio, prompting the company to ban the responsible account, though it is still investigating the incident. This misuse of audio AI tools to create fake political messages highlights the potential for election manipulation through technology and underscores the need for stricter safeguards to prevent such abuse.
