The Baltimore County Police accused the former athletic director of Pikesville High School of using an AI voice cloning tool
A US high school athletic director was arrested recently for allegedly using artificial intelligence to impersonate his principal making racist comments.
Athletic Director Dazhon Darien used AI to mimic Pikesville High School Principal Eric Eiswert spouting racist rhetoric in a demented revenge scheme, cops said.
This wild case emphasizes the serious potential for criminal misuse of artificial intelligence that experts have been warning about for some time, one professor said.
The recording surfaced in January, sending shockwaves through Pikesville High School near Baltimore. It appeared the principal had been caught making racist and antisemitic comments. Now police are saying it was a deepfake – and they’ve arrested the school’s former athletic director.
