Utah Senator Mike Lee and several Republican commentators were fooled by a fake, apparently AI-generated resignation letter claiming Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell had stepped down.
Lee posted the letter on social media before quickly deleting it when the hoax was revealed. The incident comes amid heightened political tensions surrounding Powell's leadership and recent speculation about his future. The viral spread of the letter highlights the growing challenge of misinformation and the ease with which AI-generated content can deceive even high-profile figures.
