Dr. Mattmann is happy to be featured and quoted in The Associated Press in a disturbing story on using Artificial Intelligence for harm.
🔎 A principal at a high school in Baltimore County had his voice cloned and then the artificial voice was made to issue racial slurs and antisemitic comments
🚨 Authorities in Baltimore County said Dazhon Darien, the athletic director at Pikesville High, cloned Principal Eric Eiswert’s voice.
🤦🏻♂️ The fake recording contained racist and antisemitic comments, police said. The sound file appeared in an email in some teachers’ inboxes before spreading on social media.
The technology for AI based voice cloning is easily accessible in a few clicks and using apps on your phone. You just need a few seconds of someone’s voice and the potential for great harm exists. Exercise caution and be wary of using things like voice notes!
