Notes
The Justice Department's 2025 AI use case inventory (entry DOJ-0138, as consolidated by the Office of Management and Budget) lists 'Language Translation, Optical Character Recognition (OCR), Object Detection, Language Detection, Alert Noise Reduction' as deployed. The entry says the vendor-supplied tools support data synthesis, filtering and linking of open-source and threat intelligence, described as 'autonomous detection and monitoring'. It gives an operational date of January 2021, names the vendor only as 'AI Service Provider' and classes the use as high-impact.
