AI used to decide which JFK files remain classified: Gabbard

(The Hill) – Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard said the Trump administration used artificial intelligence (AI) to help determine which documents related to the assassination of former President Kennedy should remain classified.

Gabbard, speaking at an Amazon Web Services conference Tuesday, touted how the agency fed tens of thousands of pages of materials into AI systems ahead of their declassification to speed up the otherwise lengthy process.

“We have been able to do that through the use of AI tools far more quickly than what was done previously which was to have humans go through and look at every single one of these pages,” Gabbard said, according to The Associated Press.

Experts said the process could have taken several months or years without the technology, AP reported.

Gabbard called for using private-sector technologies to speed up these types of processes, save money and allow intelligence officers to spend more time gathering and analyzing information.

“How do we look at the available tools that exist largely in the private sector to make it so that our intelligence professionals, both collectors and analysts, are able to focus their time and energy on the things that only they can do,” she said, the AP reported.

The U.S. intelligence community already engages in various public-private partnerships, and Gabbard said she hopes to expand this, according to AP.

The release of the remaining JFK assassination files built upon a promise President Trump made on the campaign trail and followed an executive order he signed in January at the start of his second term.

Multiple analyses determined many of the documents had already been released to the public in some form but were previously redacted.

Gabbard’s push for AI comes amid broader efforts from the Trump administration to increase the efficiency of the federal government’s work. Trump signed an executive order earlier this year calling for the modernization of federal technology and software.
