With a new AI account impersonating a Massachusetts State Police officer, the agency is warning the public to be cautious of information from social media accounts.

“The Massachusetts State Police is aware of a social media account using artificially generated content to falsely portray a State Trooper,” a State Police spokesperson said. … “We encourage the public to rely on official MSP channels and verified sources for accurate information, and to be cautious of accounts that claim to represent law enforcement without clear verification.”

An Instagram account has posted over 50 videos of an AI-generated State Police trooper since it began in early January. MSP confirmed the account is “not affiliated with the Department in any way.”

The account shows an AI-generated blond, female officer, with the content focused on sexualized material, and has over 74 thousand followers as of Feb. 5.
