DHS stated that they have drawn a new roadmap for the use of artificial intelligence, noting that the uses will operate in specific areas with three new pilot projects. "Under the pilot projects, Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) will test AI to enhance investigative processes focused on detecting fentanyl and improving the efficiency of investigations to combat child sexual exploitation. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) will use AI to help communities plan and develop hazard mitigation plans to build resilience and minimize risks. In addition, the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) will use AI to improve the training of immigration officers."

"WILL BE USED TO DETECT DRUG AND CHILD ABUSE CRIMES"

Artificial intelligence systems, which are envisaged to be used in different public institutions, will first be used in child abuse and drug investigations, communication in natural disasters and emergencies, and immigration services. DHS stated that it will realize the applications it aims to develop with artificial intelligence through the coordination of the 'Artificial Intelligence Task Force' established within the Ministry in 2023.

EU PARLIAMENT ADOPTS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE LAW

The European Union Parliament voted and adopted the Artificial Intelligence Act on March 13. The law included some measures on artificial intelligence, including restrictions on the use of biometric identification systems. The law banned artificial intelligence applications that threaten citizens' rights, including biometric categorization systems based on sensitive characteristics and the untargeted collection of facial images from the internet or security camera footage to create facial recognition databases.
