Artificial Intelligence at DHS

Nov 14, 2023 ·

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is committed to using artificial intelligence (AI) technologies to help protect the homeland. AI can enable faster, more accurate analysis of large volumes of data, helping the DHS identify potential threats and respond to them quickly. The DHS has set up a new office to focus on these efforts—the Office of AI, which will oversee the development, testing, and use of AI for various DHS programs. The office will also work with other government agencies and departments to ensure that AI is used correctly and ethically. The office's first priority is developing an AI strategy that will provide the framework and guidelines for the responsible use of AI. Additionally, it will focus on researching and developing tools to help human analysts analyze data more quickly and accurately. Finally, the office will create metrics and standards to assess the effectiveness of AI technologies used by the DHS. Moving forward, the office will continue working to ensure that AI is used responsibly and ethically in DHS operations.
