'An athletic director in Baltimore was arrested this week after authorities
discovered he used artificial intelligence to create a fake "recording" that
sounded like the school's principal had made racist and antisemitic remarks.
Dazhon Darien, 31, was arrested on charges of stalking, theft, disruption of
school operations, and retaliation against a witness. The recording was
circulated by Darien on social media and led to Principal Eric Eiswert being
temporarily removed from his position as well as a wave of hate-filled calls
and social media messages directed at the school.
Baltimore police worked with the FBI to analyze the recording in question and
determined that it was AI-generated content, an analysis that was later
confirmed by a forensic analyst with the University of California, Berkeley.
Authorities say Darien, who worked at Pikesville High School, created the
recording to retaliate against Eiswert, who was investigating Darien's alleged
mishandling of school funds. Darien emailed the fake recording to three
teachers, one of whom forwarded it to a student who she knew would circulate it
to others.
Darien was arrested at the airport after he attempted to board a flight while
carrying a firearm. Authorities then discovered an existing warrant for his
arrest, the
Baltimore Banner reports.'

Unfortunately this is probably just the beginning.
