The Watch Pepaya Gantung OnlineDepartment of Homeland Security (DHS) is seeking artificial intelligence experts to help harness AI to advance its mission.
These recruitment efforts come a day after House Republicans narrowly failed to impeach Alejandro Mayorkas, the secretary of Homeland Security, claiming he refused to enforce immigration law and had therefore "breached the public trust". This is being seen by the GOP as a failure to deliver on a key promise to their key voters.
This same day, Mayorkas, along with Eric Hysen, DHS chief information officer, ventured to Silicon Valley to recruit AI experts for the department. Hysen also serves as Homeland Security's chief artificial intelligence officer.
"We want to lead the federal government in harnessing AI to advance our mission," Mayorkas said at the event in Mountain View, California, adding that using AI ethically and responsibly is paramount. "It is incredibly important that we build confidence in how we are using AI."

In an official press release, Mayorkas says that the AI Corps will work "on a variety projects."
"The DHS AI Corps will enable the Department of Homeland Security to keep up with the pace of innovation as we enhance our work combating fentanyl traffickers, rescuing victims of child sexual exploitation, countering cyberattacks, assessing disaster damage, and much more," reads the statement.

At the event, Mayorkas acknowledged that AI is a polarizing matter within politics. However, he praised the potential of AI, saying, "There is an underlying impatience on my part to demonstrate [that the] government can do everything the private sector can."

Cities like New York have, too, announced that their own plans for advancing AI, signaling newfound territory for authorities to consider.
