US Justice Department creates super intelligence Task Force

The US Department of Justice has announced a Super Intelligence Task Force (DOJ-SITF) to coordinate the department’s criminal and civil enforcement involving misuse of AI, targeting foreign state and state-sponsored actors, transnational criminal organisations, and individuals and companies engaged in fraud and other unlawful activity. Led by Associate Attorney General Stanley Woodward and Associate Deputy Attorney General Stephen Weiss, the task force was established by an Attorney General memorandum dated October 13 and absorbs the department’s AI Litigation Task Force created in January; it creates no new offences.
