Speaking on Sean Hannity\u2019s<\/a> podcast, Hang Out with Sean Hannity, Patel broke down how the FBI is taking proactive measures to fight crime in the United States.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cAI was never used at the FBI till we got there, literally crazy,\u201d Patel said. \u201cI\u2019m using it everywhere.\u201d<\/p>\n

Patel pointed to specific cases where AI tools helped agents quickly process large volumes of information and act on threats.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe stopped a school massacre in North Carolina because we got a tip and we were able to triage it with artificial intelligence,\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He added that a separate school shooting in New York was also prevented after a tip from private-sector partners was analyzed using AI systems.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe stopped a school shooting in New York because we got a tip from our private-sector partners who are building out AI infrastructure,\u201d Patel said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The FBI receives thousands of tips each week, making it difficult for human analysts alone to keep pace.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIf we had just humans look at it, we would never sift through them all,\u201d Patel said. \u201cI put AI in there,\u201d he added, referring to the bureau\u2019s National Threat Operations Center.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Patel also described how AI is being integrated into other systems, including the Criminal Justice Information Services database, allowing agents to \u201cpop fingerprints immediately and get fugitives and arrest warrants out.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

The comments come as federal agencies increasingly adopt AI tools for law enforcement and national security purposes, amid growing concerns about their potential and risks. Industry experts have argued that AI can help identify threats faster, particularly in areas such as counterterrorism, cybercrime, and violent crime prevention.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Patel framed the shift as a departure from previous FBI leadership, criticizing what he described as a lack of modernization.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat\u2019s the point of collecting terabytes of data if you can\u2019t sift through it?\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He said the bureau has worked closely with private technology companies to rebuild its infrastructure and integrate AI into core operations.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve got every major tech company embedded into the FBI \u2026 and the ability for artificial intelligence to be in our counterterrorism program so we can get instantaneous results,\u201d Patel said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

BIG TECH COMPANIES AGREE TO SHARE AI MODELS WITH US GOVERNMENT FOR NATIONAL SECURITY REASONS<\/a><\/p>\n

The push aligns with broader efforts by the Trump administration to expand the use of AI across federal agencies, particularly in national security roles, and Patel emphasized that the goal in his agency is to equip agents in the field with better tools.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cAn agent in the field \u2026 should have the exact same tool kit,\u201d he said, adding that modernization is key to maintaining the FBI\u2019s effectiveness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Speaking on Sean Hannity\u2019s podcast, Hang Out with Sean Hannity, Patel broke down how the FBI is taking…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":28885,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[24,25,4210,4340,18962,18963,2770],"class_list":{"0":"post-28884","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-ai","8":"tag-ai","9":"tag-artificial-intelligence","10":"tag-fbi","11":"tag-kash-patel","12":"tag-school-shootings","13":"tag-sean-hannity","14":"tag-trump-administration"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28884","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=28884"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28884\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/28885"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=28884"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=28884"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=28884"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
