Summary - The Future of AI at DHS: Strategy, Innovation and Mission Impact

Program Summary:

AI is reshaping homeland security, creating new ways to strengthen mission effectiveness, streamline operations, and counter emerging threats. Moving from pilot projects to enterprise-wide adoption, however, requires far more than technology. It depends on sound governance, sustained investment, a capable workforce, and close partnership between government and industry. This panel brings together senior technology leaders from U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), and the U.S. Secret Service for a frank discussion of how AI is being adopted across the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

Panelists will share practical AI use cases, lessons learned, and the challenges of scaling AI responsibly, with attention to governance and strategic priorities. The conversation will also cover AI workforce readiness, organizational maturity, the evolving role of AI in the mission, and a three-year roadmap for expanding AI capabilities across homeland security missions.

Governance and strategy: policy frameworks, investment priorities, and responsible scaling of AI across DHS components.
Real-world applications: practical AI use cases, lessons learned, and measuring mission impact.
Workforce and maturity: AI skills development, organizational readiness, and the evolving role of AI in operations.
Industry partnership: opportunities to accelerate adoption, strengthen governance, build workforce capabilities, and deliver secure, scalable, mission-focused solutions.
