So another fake hate crime. But this one is especially sinister. It was a deep fake AI generated rant. And it involves regular people, not celebrities or computer nerds. Here is part of the article. The link is below. The whole story is worth a read. A Maryland high school athletic director is facing criminal charges after police say he used artificial intelligence to duplicate the voice of Pikesville High School Principal Eric Eiswert, leading the community to believe Eiswert said racist and antisemitic things about teachers and students. "We now have conclusive evidence that the recording was not authentic," Baltimore County Police Chief Robert McCullough told reporters during a news conference Thursday. "It's been determined the recording was generated through the use of artificial intelligence technology." Dazhon Darien, 31, was arrested Thursday on charges of stalking, theft, disruption of school operations and retaliation against a witness after a monthslong investigation from the Baltimore County Police Department. Attempts to contact Darien or Eiswert for comment were not successful. The wild, headline-making details of this case aside, it emphasizes the serious potential for criminal misuse of artificial intelligence that experts have been warning about for some time, said Hany Farid, a professor at the University of California, Berkeley, who specializes in digital forensics. Farid said he helped analyze the recording for police. Baltimore County police also consulted with another analyst and experts at the FBI. Their conclusion was that the recording was suspicious and unlikely to be authentic. For just a few dollars, anyone can harness artificial intelligence to make audio and visual deepfakes. Stakes are high, but deepfake detection software doesn't always get it right. Using AI to detect AI-generated deepfakes can work for audio — but not always Untangling Disinformation Using AI to detect AI-generated deepfakes can work for audio — but not always This Baltimore-area case is not a canary in the coal mine. "I think the canary has been dead for quite awhile," Farid said. "What's so particularly poignant here is that this is a Baltimore school principal. This is not Taylor Swift. It's not Joe Biden. It's not Elon Musk. It's just some guy trying to get through his day," he said. "It shows you the vulnerability. How anybody can create this stuff and they can weaponize it against anybody." https://www.npr.org/2024/04/26...d-racist-audio-crime | ||

This is easy. If he’s found guilty he goes away for life. Do that a few times and others will think twice about doing it. But social media doesn’t give a crap about fake images so everyone thinks it’s ok to try to fool people. | |||

Kind of paying attention to this, it's under the "Fake white hate crime" category. Reading into this case, the Principal started an investigation into the misuse of funds from the gym teacher, and the gym teacher is the one who generated the fake AI conversation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IofbRICWNBk ______________________________________________________________________ "When its time to shoot, shoot.

Is an act, perpetrated by a person of one race (#1), against a person of another race (#2), that attempts to falsely accuse or provide fictitious evidence that person #2 is racist against person #1's race..... in fact racist?

I don’t think it matters that it’s racist - it’s a crime that should not be tolerated - I put this right up there with pedo’s The only way to stop the proliferation of such crap is to make it untenable to do it The law will never catch up, and we have too many laws now - most of which are worthless | |||
