In the aftermath of the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent in Minneapolis on 7 January 2026, a wave of AI misinformation has surged across social media platforms.

This incident highlights the growing problem of AI being used nefariously for political smears, a trend experts say will be a huge problem in coming years.
