Kash Patel claims AI has stopped school shootings: ‘I’m using it everywhere’

The Independent covers a wide range of issues from reproductive rights to climate change, and is committed to providing unbiased journalism.
FBI Director Kash Patel claims that the agency’s use of AI has prevented school shootings and is being implemented at the bureau’s National Threat Operations Center.
Patel asserts that previous FBI directors did not prioritize the implementation of AI at the bureau, contrasting their approach with his current focus on modernization.
The use of AI in the FBI is claimed by Patel to enhance the agency’s ability to sift through massive amounts of tips and generate immediate results in counterterrorism efforts.
Patel also involved private technology companies to upgrade the bureau’s internet capabilities, classified systems, and implementation of artificial intelligence.
