In the latest deepfake scam using artificial intelligence, US secretary of state Marco Rubio has turned out to be the victim as his impostor sent fake voice messages and texts mimicking his voice and writing style to at least five senior officials including three foreign ministers, a US governor and a Congress member, The Washington Post reported on Tuesday.
While the impostor is at large, it is found that the aim was to “gain access to information or accounts” of powerful government officials. A probe has been initiated in the US over the breach of security and the incident has again brought the issue of AI impersonators into limelight.
