The Department of Justice (DOJ) will seek stiffer penalties in cases where the threat of misconduct was greater because of misuse of artificial intelligence (AI), according to the agency’s No. 2 official.
Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco addressed the technology in remarks delivered at Oxford in the United Kingdom on Wednesday. She said AI will become a top focus area for the agency’s Disruptive Technology Strike Force, which includes representatives of the Commerce Department’s Bureau of Industry and Security and works to enforce export control laws.
