Abstract

The responsible and trustworthy use of AI is critical to the safe and secure processing and understanding of the large volumes of data collected everyday by the Department of Homeland Security. For example, the Transportation Security Administration takes five million images a day and screens millions of air passengers, while U.S. Customs and Border Protection processes more than 1 million images per day and more than 1 billion packages per year in achieving their mission to protect the U.S. homeland. In April of 2023, the Department of Homeland (DHS) Secretary, Alejandro Mayorkas, established the department’s first ever artificial intelligence task force (AITF). The guiding mission of the AITF is to advance the use of AI to support critical homeland security missions. This presentation will focus on the findings and results of the DHS AITF including policies for the responsible use of AI within the department, the selection and initiation of AI pilot projects, and the development of a framework for the successful implementation of AI within DHS. Finally, multiple DHS inspired problems will be presented to introduce the breadth of the DHS missions that will be impacted through the use of AI.
