US Border Control Uses AI Tool to Scan Social Media for "Derogatory" Content

The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency is using an AI-powered tool called Giant Oak Search Technology (GOST) to scan social media posts for content deemed "derogatory" to the U.S. The use of AI in border control has raised concerns about privacy and ethical implications. GOST assists the agency by scrutinizing social media posts and determining their potential risk to the U.S. The public remains skeptical of AI, especially where personal privacy is concerned.
