US teacher framed principal with audio deepfake, THOR discovered 27,500 overlooked asteroids, ChatGPT more moral than university students?

A high school teacher in the United States was recently arrested for using AI to create a fake, racist recording of the school’s principal, following workplace disagreement between the two over missing school funds.
The arrestee Dazhon Darien was accused of creating an audio clip that resembles the principal making racist remarks about some students and faculty members.

The recording first surfaced in January and after months of investigation, the local police concluded that the recording was not authentic and contained traces of AI-generated content.

So how did the local police identify the audio deepfake? Will we see a dangerous trend of AI being weaponised? Listen to AI consultant Raj Shroff’s take on the issue via https://www.rthk.hk/radio/radio3/programme/tech_tuesday

You’ll also hear about the discovery of over 27,000 previously unnoticed asteroids using an AI tool called THOR, as well as a study that claims ChatGPT makes better moral judgements than university students.
