Good thing that the Department of Homeland Security is Studying AI!

DHS issued a report that it “…has a longstanding commitment to responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies that we employ to advance our missions, including combatting fentanyl trafficking, strengthening supply chain security, countering child sexual exploitation, and protecting critical infrastructure. We are building on that commitment by publishing an updated AI Use Case Inventory and demonstrating how we are exceeding government-wide standards on transparency, accountability, and responsible use.”  The December 16, 2024 release entltled “AI at DHS: A Deep Dive into our Use Case Inventory” (https://www.dhs.gov/news/2024/12/16/ai-dhs-deep-dive-our-use-case-inventory) included these comments:

DHS will continue to update the DHS AI Use Case Inventory on a rolling basis and complete at least one full update annually. We will continue to implement and monitor compliance with the M-24-10 minimum practices for every safety- and/or rights-impacting use case before and during its deployment. DHS will conduct ongoing monitoring, testing, and evaluation to make sure that we are living up to our commitments to use AI in safe, responsible, and trustworthy ways.
