The Department of Homeland Security has introduced a new directive outlining prohibited uses of artificial intelligence within the agency. This directive aims to establish a comprehensive policy for the acquisition and governance of AI technologies, detailing how they should be bought, tested, and operated. It expands on previous policies by explicitly forbidding discriminatory uses of AI and outlining specific actions that DHS personnel cannot take.
Under the new directive, DHS personnel are prohibited from relying solely on AI outputs for law enforcement decisions or engaging in discriminatory profiling. The directive also emphasizes the importance of adhering to legal standards throughout the AI lifecycle, from planning to deployment. This policy update comes as DHS navigates the complexities of AI implementation amid potential changes in administration.

Governance in this context refers to the policies and procedures for managing AI use within DHS.
Discriminatory practices involve making decisions based on race, gender, or other protected characteristics, which the directive explicitly prohibits.
