Referred to the House Committee on Homeland Security.
This bill directs U.S. Customs and Border Protection to launch a two-year pilot program at Arizona border land ports of entry using artificial intelligence to detect anomalies and improve screening for illegal drugs and contraband. The CBP Commissioner must test and assess how well the technology assists officers with inspections, speeds up processing, improves detection accuracy, and enhances border security. The Department of Homeland Security must ensure the system meets all cybersecurity requirements and manage ongoing cyber risks, and CBP may coordinate with other federal agencies and the private sector during development and implementation. CBP must submit progress reports to Congress every six months detailing metrics on detection accuracy, false alarm rates, operational costs, and any successes or failures, followed by a final report within 60 days of the pilot's end with recommendations on whether to expand the program. The pilot automatically terminates two years after the bill becomes law.
