Susie Wiles, a close ally of President Donald Trump, became the focus of an impersonation campaign utilizing artificial intelligence to mimic her voice in communications with politicians. Following reports of the campaign, the U.S. government has initiated an investigation. Recipients of the impersonated messages reported that some calls replicated Wiles's voice convincingly, although inconsistencies emerged, such as unusual grammar and the use of a different phone number. FBI Director Kash Patel emphasized the importance of secure communication to protect administration officials from such malicious acts.
Some recipients told the newspaper that the calls even appeared to replicate Wiles's voice using artificial intelligence. The giveaway came when the messages asked about items Wiles should know or were too formal.
The director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Kash Patel, issued a statement denouncing any impersonation campaigns, highlighting the priority of securely communicating for the administration.
