FBI Director Kash Patel says bureau ramping up AI to counter domestic, global threats

The FBI is developing AI tools to enhance national security amid leadership changes and morale challenges, with Deputy Director Bongino set to depart in January, Patel said.

  • Recently, FBI Director Kash Patel revealed on X that the Federal Bureau of Investigation is developing an AI project to aid national security, saying `Artificial Intelligence is a key component of this`.
  • The Trump administration this year directed the Presidential AI Challenge and White House technology officials urged professionals will increasingly 'leverage these tools' across government.
  • FBI leadership created a technology working group led by Dan Bongino, Deputy Director, but his announced January departure raises questions about future leadership.
  • Salon sources said morale is at an "all-time low" and insiders described the FBI as "in shambles" under Patel, while staff departures and Jimmy Paul’s move fuelled leadership rumours.
  • The administration pursued private AI deals and public roles, signing a deal for xAI's Grok chatbot with agencies while the FBI declined to add to Patel's post and the White House denied plans to replace Patel.
