DOJ just launched something called the Super Intelligence Task Force
The unit is tasked with ensuring that the technology is not "manipulated by bad actors at home or abroad."
The Department of Justice (DOJ) has announced the formation of the Super Intelligence Task Force (DOJ-SITF), a unit dedicated to safeguarding US-based artificial intelligence technology from potential threats. Stanley Woodward and Stephen Weiss, both reporting to Attorney General Todd Blanche, lead the task force. The DOJ-SITF aims to protect AI from foreign state actors, state-sponsored entities, transnational criminal organizations, and individuals or corporations involved in fraudulent activities.
Attorney General Blanche acknowledged past accusations of fraud against him, including a crypto scheme. Blanche stated that the task force will work with AI Force Chair Jay Clayton to ensure critical AI technologies benefit the American people and are not manipulated by malicious actors. The DOJ emphasizes that the US remains at the forefront of a new technological revolution in intelligence.
The administration remains committed to the term "Super Intelligence," despite criticism. Tech giants like Google, Apple, Meta, and others have shown loyalty to President Trump, potentially risking backlash from newly-elected Democrat majorities in the midterms.
