To establish a pilot program for use by U.S. Customs and Border Protection at land ports of entry along the Arizona border to assess the use of artificial intelligence through an anomaly detection algorithm, and for other purposes.

This bill requires U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to start a pilot program, within two years of the law taking effect, that uses an artificial intelligence anomaly detection algorithm at land ports of entry along the Arizona border to help officers screen for illegal drugs and contraband. CBP must test and collect data on how the algorithm affects staffing gaps, inspection accuracy, processing times, and intelligence efforts. The Department of Homeland Security must make sure the system meets its cybersecurity requirements, and CBP may work with other federal agencies and seek input from private companies. The pilot ends two years after enactment, and CBP must send Congress progress reports and a final report with recommendations on expanding the algorithm's use.
