Dazhon Darien, a physical education teacher and the athletic director at Pikesville High School in Maryland, created a fake audio recording of the principal spewing hateful comments, authorities say.

A Maryland high school teacher was arrested after he used artificial intelligence to create phony audio, planting racist and antisemitic words into the voice of his boss, officials alleged Thursday.

Dazhon Darien, a physical education teacher and the athletic director at Pikesville High School, was accused of falsifying the voice of principal Eric Eiswert in January, authorities said.

“We now have conclusive evidence that the recording was not authentic,” Baltimore County Police Chief Robert McCullough told reporters in Towson. “It’s been determined the recording was generated through the use of artificial intelligence technology.”
