 US explores AI to train immigration officers on talking to refugees
==========

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is piloting artificial intelligence to train officers who review applicants for refugee status in the United States. The AI program will help officers practice interviewing refugees by acting like refugees themselves. The goal is to address the labor-intensive nature of training officers and improve their ability to elicit information from reticent refugee applicants. The AI program will not make immigration decisions but will provide officers with country-specific conditions and other information to assist them. The pilot is part of the DHS's broader AI initiatives, which include the development of an interactive app to supplement officer training.
