In a groundbreaking move, the Bengaluru Police has introduced AI-generated avatars to enhance public communication and social media engagement. Currently in its experimental phase, the initiative aims to revolutionize how the department connects with citizens by deploying virtual police officers that closely resemble their real-life counterparts.

The avatars, powered by generative AI, replicate the appearance, voice, and lip movements of actual officials. By simply inputting text into an AI tool, police officers can create videos featuring these avatars delivering important messages. Pre-recorded voice samples ensure the messages sound realistic and authentic.

The initiative is being developed in partnership with Aeos, a Bengaluru-based AI and digital content startup. According to the department, the technology will enable faster communication during emergencies, such as safety alerts, traffic updates, or urgent announcements, while eliminating the need for extensive logistical setups.

This innovation positions Bengaluru Police at the forefront of leveraging AI for effective public outreach, potentially setting a new benchmark for law enforcement communication.
