German Bundeswehr Uses AI to Screen Applicants for Right-Wing Extremism

The German armed forces have introduced an artificial‑intelligence system to evaluate job applicants for potential right‑wing extremist affiliations. The technology will analyze data provided by candidates to flag individuals who may pose a security risk, aiming to strengthen the military’s internal safeguards. Officials say the tool supplements existing vetting procedures and will be deployed across recruitment offices.
