    "notes": "The DHS 2025 AI Use Case Inventory (entry DHS-2538, as consolidated by the Office of Management and Budget) lists \"Open Source and Social Media Analysis\" at CBP as deployed from 1 January 2025, purchased from a vendor listed as NexisXplore and classed as natural language processing. The entry says the tool analyses open-source and social media data to find potential threats and admissibility concerns, using AI modules for text detection and translation and for object and image recognition, and presents possible matches, including previously unknown social media accounts, phone numbers and email addresses, to an officer or analyst for manual review against government systems. DHS says the output is not used as the sole basis for action, classes the use as high-impact and records most required risk-management steps as still in progress. The same inventory lists separate CBP open-source tools: Babel Street's \"Babel\" (deployed August 2023, high-impact) and Dataminr alerts for travel threat analysis (deployed November 2024, determined not high-impact).",
