This is exactly what everyone has been worried about with artificial intelligence… a black coach in Baltimore used AI to create a fake recording of his school boss supposedly delivering a racist rant in order to get the man fired.
Here it is in real life, the perfect example of how dangerous AI really can be and how the technology so easily leds itself to evil use.
Per the Daily Mail:
A black Baltimore high school athletics director has been charged with using AI to generate a recording of the school’s white principal going on a racist rant.
Dazhon Darien, 31, previously worked as the athletic director at Pikesville High School – but was the target of a probe into the mishandling of school funds.
In an act of retaliation, Darien allegedly generated a fake audio recording of the school’s principal, Eric Eiswert, ‘spewing racial and anti-Semitic insults about staff and students.’
The recording, posted to an Instagram account, allegedly captures Pikesville High School principal Eric Eiswert making racially charged comments.
‘I seriously don’t understand why I have to constantly put up with these dumb a**** here every day,’ the speaker is heard saying.
‘Between these ungrateful black kids who can’t test their way out of a paper bag or these teachers who don’t get it. How hard is it to get these students to meet their grade level expectations?’
The speaker said, ‘And if I have to get one more complaint from one more Jew in this community, I’m going to join the other side.’
This story isn’t just about the misuse of AI, either. IT is about a racist black man’s attack on his white boss, too.
At first, everyone believed the recording was real and the white principal was about to have his life destroyed.
But soon enough — with the help of an FBI forensics team — the recording was exposed as a hoax.
The black coach was arrested. The coach was charged with stalking, disruption of school operations, and retaliation against a witness. He is currently being held in custody on $5,000 bond.
