Athletic director used AI to frame principal with racist remarks in fake audio clip, police say
A.I. USED TO FRAME WHITE PRINCIPAL:
Pikesville High principal Eric Eiswert was CAUGHT on tape having a racist rant.
People called for him to lose his job.
The only problem?
The whole recording was AI-generated.
Dazhon Darien, former athletic director (Pikesville) was arrested & charged for fabricating the entire tape.
Expect to see a lot more of this.
This is pretty much something I have been worried about for a long time now. If AI can be used to fake images and voices, then its the wet dream of propagandists and authoritarians.
And before everyone starts yelling that 'the tech isn't that good, and there will always be ways to tell'.
One, you assume that the stuff we have access to is the same as what the governments or three-letter agents have access to. Also, technological progression is not going to be linear.
Two, who points out what those 'ways to tell' are? Who funds the experts or programmers? It's not as if governments have shut down or discredited people who are inconvenient to them.
