AI Voice Cloning Used in Plot to Impersonate Trump's Chief of Staff: FBI Investigates

An FBI investigation is underway into a sophisticated plot to impersonate Susie Wiles, Chief of Staff to President Donald Trump. Authorities suspect the use of AI-generated voice messages to deceive high-level officials. A senior White House official confirmed Wiles's belief that her phone and contact list were hacked. "This is a serious matter," the official stated, highlighting the potential for widespread misinformation and manipulation. CNN demonstrated the ease of AI voice cloning, using an expert to replicate a voice in a matter of seconds. This raises concerns about the vulnerability of individuals and institutions to such sophisticated attacks. The ease of access to AI voice-changing technology underscores the need for increased awareness and robust security measures to prevent future incidents.
