    NGL, given how well AI is doing in other fields this sounds like it’ll do more harm than help to their efforts.

    Unless it’s an actually competently made machine learning which highlights specific suspicious movements and not any sort of large model.

    Definitely not a surprise that the piece of shit Sundar Pichai is working with Trump, though. He attended the Inauguration alongside Bezos, Musk, Zuckerberg, etc.

    Just a quid pro quo to give google a fat government hand out. Only purpose it will serve is to give border agents something to blame for issues. Just like every time DOGE messes up.

        True, they’ve already demonstrated a great capacity to fuck up without AI so this will just be more of the same
