This ‘College Protester’ Isn’t Real. It’s an AI-Powered Undercover Bot for Cops
American law enforcement agencies are spending large sums on a covert AI tool called Overwatch, developed by a company named Massive Blue. The technology creates realistic AI-generated personas to monitor and interact with targets online, including college protesters, political activists, and suspected traffickers.
Marketed as an “AI-powered force multiplier,” Overwatch is designed to infiltrate digital spaces using lifelike virtual agents. One example is a fake persona posing as a 36-year-old divorced woman interested in baking, activism, and body positivity.
Documents obtained by 404 Media show the tool is promoted for use in border security, school safety, and anti-trafficking operations. It can also generate fake “proof of life” images with names and dates to convince targets of a persona’s authenticity
