Homeland Security Department intelligence analysts are using cloud-based AI tools on sensitive but unclassified data to make their jobs easier. Avery Alpha, principal deputy undersecretary for intelligence and analysis, emphasized the importance of having a human in the loop to assess the accuracy of information generated by AI tools. The department is piloting the use of these tools in unclassified environments first to familiarize the workforce with the technology. They are also working on implementing AI in classified spaces once the tools meet security standards. The White House has pushed for the federal government to implement AI, and DHS is following suit by incorporating data scientists into their analytics centers to enhance intelligence analysis. The department has successfully used AI tools to identify migration trends for border security and detect suspicious visa applications. Additionally, they have used AI to identify individuals from foreign adversary nations attempting to exploit the visa system. Overall, DHS is focused on leveraging AI to improve intelligence analysis and enhance national security efforts.
