Canada’s Bolo program — “Be on the Lookout” — has released its latest list of the country’s most-wanted fugitives.

But if you scroll through the website, you’ll notice a modern twist to the mug shots: artificial intelligence was used to make the heads move and the eyes blink.

The list of 25 fugitives includes alleged murderers, drug trafficking and gang members who are wanted by various police services across the country.

If you spot any of these individuals, do not approach them. Tipsters are urged to contact police immediately.

Joining us on tonight’s Closer Look podcast is Max Langlois, executive director of the Bolo program.
