Let's use AI to stop fentanyl at the border and keep it from killing Americans

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

65% : Closer to home, AI would allow CBP to make better use of its most important yet overstretched asset, its officers.
62% : Further, while CBP does data-based analysis, those efforts can take days.
60% : The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Customs and Border Protection Agency (CBP) can leverage the power of artificial intelligence (AI) to identify the trucks, boats and planes trying to sneak fentanyl into the country.
56% : Then, instead of conducting random searches - which find fentanyl in just a handful of trucks of the over 19,000 that cross the southern border every day - CBP could conduct targeted, data-informed searches.
54% : That's not to say DHS and CBP shouldn't have access to the tools needed to secure the border, but these agencies should prioritize tools that have the highest return on investment.
