The State Department is holding a press briefing on Tuesday afternoon after artificial intelligence-generated deepfake voice messages were used to impersonate Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

The briefing is expected to begin at 2 p.m.
The impersonation campaign reportedly began in June, when an impostor pretending to be Rubio contacted several foreign ministers, a governor, and a Congress member by sending them voice and text messages that mimicked Rubio’s voice and writing style using AI-powered software.
