The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is actively exploring the use of generative AI video tools from Google and Adobe for training and simulation purposes. According to a DHS official, the agency is testing Google’s Lumiere and Adobe’s Firefly to create synthetic video content. This content is intended for training first responders and simulating complex disaster scenarios, such as chemical spills or wildfires, in a controlled and cost-effective manner. The initiative is part of a broader DHS effort to assess and implement artificial intelligence technologies across its missions. Officials emphasize that the use of such AI-generated media is strictly for internal, non-public training to enhance preparedness and response strategies.
