US Justice Department Creates Task Force to Protect AI Technology
The US Justice Department has created a task force focused on artificial intelligence.
It is called the Super Intelligence Task Force, or DOJ-SITF.
Its mission is to prevent US AI from being compromised or misused by foreign actors or fraudsters.
The unit will be led by Stanley Woodward and Stephen Weiss, who serve under Attorney General Todd Blanche.
The announcement repeatedly uses “SI,” short for “super intelligence,” instead of the more familiar term “AI.”
The task force is intended to protect US AI technology, but no further details about its work or next steps were given.
