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 on Thursday.
Using cloning technology, Darien forged an audio clip in which it sounded as if the principal was frustrated with Black students and their test-taking abilities, police wrote.
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.
Darien, 31, faces charges that include theft, disrupting school activities, stalking and retaliating against a witness, according to court documents.
