CBP imagines “unified vision of unauthorized movement” along the border, powered by artificial intelligence.
If the Department of Homeland Security gets its way, Congress will grant it more than $107 billion to run its enforcement regime during the 2025 fiscal year. Buried in the lengthy budget request is $101 million to upgrade and maintain the network of surveillance towers scattered throughout the borderlands, first noted by The Intercept. According to its own official publications, Customs and Border Protection hopes to fully integrate these systems through AI.
” The long-term goal is to create a “more autonomous” Border Patrol through artificial intelligence. CBP publications note that AI can be used to “identify relevant patterns in interactions with immigrant populations,” bolster surveillance operations, and “predict adversary movements.” Last September, Defense Daily reported that DHS plans on acquiring 277 new towers that will surveil 53 different Border Patrol areas of operation, and to upgrade 191 existing surveillance towers.
