The Three Lines of Effort in the DHS AI Roadmap
In March 2024, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) released its AI Roadmap, outlining the organization’s AI initiatives and the technology’s potential uses across the homeland security enterprise.
The roadmap was released on the heels of President Biden’s Executive Order 14110, “Safe, Secure, and Trustworthy Development and Use of Artificial Intelligence,” which tasked DHS with several critical roles, including:
- To manage AI in critical infrastructure and cyberspace;
- Promote the adoption of AI safety standards globally;
- Reduce the potential risk of AI’s use to facilitate weapons of mass destruction attacks;
- Combat AI-related intellectual property theft;
- Ensure our nation attracts talent to develop responsible AI in the United States.
