A high school athletic director in Maryland has been charged with using artificial intelligence to impersonate a principal on an audio recording that included racist and antisemitic comments, authorities said on Thursday.

Dazhon Darien faked the voice of Pikesville high school's principal in January following conversations that Darien's contract would not be renewed, according to charging documents filed by Baltimore county police.
