The US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is currently piloting an artificial intelligence program to train officers who interview refugee applicants. This AI is designed to simulate interactions with refugees, taking into account factors such as potential reticence due to trauma. The initiative aims to enhance the training process, which traditionally involves senior personnel and is labor-intensive. While the AI will not make immigration decisions, it will assist officers by providing tailored training materials and information on country-specific conditions to improve decision-making accuracy.
Tech Explained
Fair Use Policy (FUP) – Fair Use Policy is a set of rules implemented by internet service providers to ensure fair usage of data by customers. It typically includes limits on data usage after which the speed may be throttled.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) – Artificial Intelligence refers to the simulation of human intelligence processes by machines, particularly computer systems. AI is used to perform tasks that typically require human intelligence, such as learning, problem-solving, and decision-making.
Data Roaming – Data Roaming allows a mobile device to access the internet using a different network than the one provided by the user’s service provider. This is particularly useful when traveling internationally and enables users to stay connected without incurring exorbitant roaming charges.
