A Maryland high school's athletic director was arrested after he allegedly used artificial intelligence to create phony audio of the school's principal making racist and antisemitic remarks.
At a press conference on Thursday, Robert McCullough, chief of Baltimore County police, said that officials were first made aware of the voice recording on Jan. 17, and thoroughly investigated the allegations before sharing the information with the public. Sarah Rumpf-Whitten is a breaking news writer for Fox News Digital and Fox Business.
"On January 17, 2024, the Baltimore County Police Department became aware of a voice recording being circulated on social media," McCullough said. "It was alleged the voice captured on the audio file belongs to Mr Eric Eiswert, the Principal at the Pikesville High School. We now have conclusive evidence that the recording was not authentic."
