AI is increasingly becoming a tool for law enforcement, with companies like Massive Blue developing AI-powered social media bots for online investigations. These bots are designed to operate undercover, engaging with individuals suspected of crimes, including violent offenses and participation in protest movements. By interacting with targets on social media platforms, the bots gather information and provide insights to law enforcement agencies. The use of AI in this context raises significant ethical questions, particularly concerning privacy rights, freedom of speech, and the potential for biased or discriminatory outcomes.
