A high school athletic director in Maryland has been charged with using artificial intelligence to impersonate a principal on an audio recording that included racist and antisemitic comments, authorities said Thursday. Dazhon Darien faked the voice of Pikesville High School's principal in January following conversations that Darien's contract would not be renewed, according to charging documents filed by Baltimore County police.
The recording also purported to capture the principal disparaging Jewish individuals and two teachers who ”should never have been hired.' The audio clip quickly spread on social media and had “profound repercussions,” the court documents stated, with the principal being placed on leave. The recording also triggered a wave of hate-filled messages on social media and an inundation of phone calls to the high school's front office, police said.
