What we can confirm

Multiple reputable reports and official documents indicate that the FBI is actively exploring and deploying artificial intelligence tools to help screen tips, mine large datasets, and triage information about potential threats before crimes or attacks occur.[2][3][5][6][10] These systems focus on prioritizing and identifying leads and risk indicators from lawfully held information, rather than making fully automated arrest or prosecution decisions.[3][6] Procurement records and oversight reports describe ongoing efforts to integrate predictive modeling and AI capabilities into the FBI’s Threat Screening Center and broader operations, which aligns with the claim that the bureau is exploring AI to help identify potential threats before crimes are committed.[1][5][10]
