On March 18, 2024, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced its first “Artificial Intelligence Roadmap,” which outlines three new pilot programs that will allow the DHS to test the efficacy of AI in carrying out its operations. The three pilot programs will:

• Allow Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) to test AI to enhance investigative processes by leveraging a large language model (LLM)-based system to enhance summaries, which could assist in detecting drug-related crimes and investigations combating child sexual exploitation.

• Assist the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) with deploying generative AI to help communities plan for and develop hazard mitigation plans.

• Allow United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to use AI to improve immigration officer training by personalizing training materials adapted to the trainee’s needs.
