Marco Rubio’s AI double is calling five real-world leaders via Signal, mimicking his voice and penmanship. Trending searches like 'Can AI trick world leaders?' and 'Is Signal app secure for politicians?' now collide with reality. Among the recipients: foreign ministers, a U.S. governor, and a congressman. The State Department admits, 'We continue to implement safeguards to prevent this from happening in the future.'

After Rubio’s AI clone texted a congressman and a governor, officials scrambled to answer 'How does AI voice impersonation work?' and 'Who uses Signal for government communications?' The imposter’s aim? Gaining account access—imagine Rubio’s voice ordering pizza in six languages, followed by a cable warning sent July 3: 'Goal of gaining access to information or accounts.'

Since mid-June, at least five high-ranking officials worldwide received AI-crafted messages posing as Rubio, all while the real Rubio presumably avoided ordering interplanetary pastries on Signal.
