This is the best summary I could come up with:


“We now have conclusive evidence that the recording was not authentic,” Baltimore County Police Chief Robert McCullough told reporters during a news conference Thursday.

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.

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.

Darien’s alleged scheme began in January in an attempt to retaliate against Eiswert, investigators wrote in the charging documents provided to NPR.

Baltimore County Executive John Olszewski said during Thursday’s press conference that this case highlights the need “to make some adaptions to bring the law up to date with the technology that was being used.”

Farid said there remains, generally, a lackluster response from regulators reluctant to put checks and balances on tech companies that develop these tools or to establish laws that properly punish wrongdoers and protect people.
