Imposter used AI to pose as Marco Rubio and contact foreign ministers

The incident was first revealed in the State Department cable that was dated 3 July and sent to "all diplomatic and consular posts," CBS News reported. The cable stated that a false Signal account was created in mid-June with the display name marco.rubio@state.gov. That account contacted at least five people. "The actor left voicemails on Signal for at least two targeted individuals, and in one instance, sent a text message inviting the individual to communicate on Signal," the cable stated, as reported by CBS. The cable did not identify the individuals that were contacted or what the AI-generated voice of Rubio said in those voicemails.
