'Cat in the Hat' AI image leads to police reports
AI-generated images depicting a life-sized Cat in the Hat figure allegedly roaming Irish neighbourhoods prompted alarm and police reports. An Garda Síochána confirmed that the images were fabricated using AI and circulated online with misleading claims, appearing in locations including Limerick, Cork, Tipperary, Wexford and Dublin. The incident follows a similar UK prank involving an AI-generated homeless man that led to emergency calls, prompting Dorset Police to urge people to verify suspicious images before contacting 999.
