Requires the Secretary of Homeland Security to develop a plan for identifying, integrating, and deploying advanced technologies, including AI, to enhance border security. Involves privacy impact assessments, CBP Innovation Teams, and collaboration with private and public sectors.
Analysis summaries, actor details, and coverage mappings were LLM-classified and may contain errors.
This is a binding legislative act from the United States Congress with mandatory requirements for the Secretary of Homeland Security to develop and submit plans, establish teams, and report to Congressional committees. The document uses mandatory language throughout and creates legally enforceable obligations.
The document has minimal coverage of AI risk domains, with primary focus on privacy impacts (2.1) and security vulnerabilities (2.2) in the context of border technology deployment. There is implicit coverage of governance mechanisms (6.5) through reporting and oversight requirements, and minimal mention of system robustness (7.3) through performance metrics. The document does not substantially address most AI-specific risks as it focuses on technology procurement and deployment processes rather than AI safety concerns.
This document primarily governs Public Administration (excluding National Security) through CBP operations and border security technology deployment. It also has significant coverage of National Security given the border security mission, and governs Professional and Technical Services and Scientific Research and Development Services through requirements for collaboration with private sector, consultants, and research institutions.
The document covers multiple AI lifecycle stages with primary focus on Plan and Design (identifying technology needs and capability gaps), Deploy (integrating and deploying technologies), and Operate and Monitor (evaluating effectiveness and transitioning to programs of record). There is minimal coverage of Build and Use Model, and limited coverage of Verify and Validate through assessment requirements.
The document explicitly mentions artificial intelligence and machine-learning as examples of emerging technologies to be deployed for border security. It does not distinguish between different types of AI (frontier, general purpose, task-specific, etc.) or mention foundation models, generative AI, predictive AI, open-weight models, or compute thresholds. The focus is on practical deployment of AI technologies rather than technical AI governance.
Mr. Correa and Mr. Luttrell (Members of the United States House of Representatives)
The bill was introduced in the House of Representatives by two named members of Congress, as indicated in the document header.
Committee on Homeland Security of the House of Representatives, Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs of the Senate
The Congressional committees are designated as the recipients of mandatory reports and plans, giving them oversight and enforcement authority through their legislative and budgetary powers.
Committee on Homeland Security of the House of Representatives, Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs of the Senate, Commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection
The Congressional committees receive annual reports and monitor implementation. The Commissioner of CBP also has internal monitoring responsibilities for CBP Innovation Teams' activities, including tracking metrics and key performance parameters.
Secretary of Homeland Security, Commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), Under Secretary for Science and Technology of the Department of Homeland Security, CBP Innovation Teams, Department of Homeland Security's Science and Technology Directorate, private sector entities, public sector entities, small and disadvantaged businesses, intra-governmental entities, university centers of excellence, Federal laboratories
The document primarily targets the Secretary of Homeland Security and CBP leadership who must develop plans and deploy technologies. It also targets CBP Innovation Teams that will research and adapt technologies, and indirectly targets private and public sector entities that will be engaged for technology development and collaboration.
