Generative AI and Vision AI for Next-Gen Vetting Workflows
Under DTSS 2.0, we advanced CBP’s digital transformation by deploying enterprise chatbots, migrating systems to the cloud, and implementing secure DevOps pipelines. Our work included high-impact innovations such as the ACE and USMCA chatbots, recognized as a “Chatbot Success Story,” and the implementation of Harness CI/CD pipelines, praised as “Stealthy DevOps.” These initiatives leveraged Generative AI and Vision AI to improve CBP’s efficiency, reduce inefficient workflows, and demonstrated measurable cost savings for the enterprise.
