AI Summary

The Department of Homeland Security will employ Google’s artificial‑intelligence tools to suggest portions of documents that should be redacted in response to Freedom of Information Act requests. The move follows recent high‑profile redaction efforts, such as the Justice Department’s handling of the Epstein file release, which blacked out text across millions of pages. The plan was revealed in GitHub documents obtained by The Washington Post.
