## Summary

**AI anomaly detection pilot at Arizona land ports** would test an algorithm to help U.S. Customs and Border Protection spot unusual patterns tied to illicit drugs and contraband and to speed inspections. - CBP and border agents would test whether the tool eases understaffing, improves inspection thoroughness, and strengthens intelligence for interdiction. - Travelers and commercial traffic would be evaluated for changes in processing times to see if the technology reduces delays at land ports. - The Commissioner may coordinate with the Department of Homeland Security, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), other federal agencies, and consult private sector partners during development and testing. - The pilot must begin within two years, runs for two years, and requires progress reports 180 days after implementation and every six months, plus a final report 60 days after termination with metrics like accuracy, false alarm rates, operational costs, and estimated cost savings.
