Dazhon Darien, 31, a former athletic director at Pikesville High School in Baltimore, was arrested Thursday morning for using artificial intelligence to create a fake audio recording of the school's principal, Eric Eiswert, making racist and antisemitic remarks. The AI-generated audio, which went viral, led to significant public backlash and temporarily cost Eiswert his job. The motive behind Darien's actions is reported to be related to a personal grievance over job performance disagreements.
