AI Powers DHS Videos, Grid Resists Winter, & the Agent Internet Rises

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is utilizing artificial intelligence video generators from Google and Adobe to create and edit content for public consumption, according to a newly released document. The document, revealed on Wednesday, provides an inventory of commercial AI tools used by DHS for various tasks, including drafting documents and managing cybersecurity, according to MIT Technology Review.

The revelation comes as immigration agencies have increased their social media presence to support President Trump's mass deportation agendas, some of which appears to be made with AI, according to MIT Technology Review. The use of these tools also coincides with pressure from tech workers on their employers to denounce the agencies' activities, according to MIT Technology Review. The document specifically identifies Google's Veo 3 video generator and Adobe Firefly as tools used by DHS for editing images, videos, and other public affairs materials, according to MIT Technology Review.

While the document does not detail the specific content created using these AI tools, it highlights the increasing reliance of government agencies on commercial AI technologies for public communication. The use of AI in this context raises questions about transparency and potential manipulation of public opinion.
