The Department of Justice (DOJ) is working on an update to its Evaluation of Corporate Compliance Programs (ECCP) guidance to spell out the responsibilities of compliance staff for managing artificial intelligence (AI)-related risks.

Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco announced the impending change in remarks delivered at an American Bar Association event Thursday. She said she directed the Criminal Division to “incorporate assessment of disruptive technology risks, including risks associated with AI,” into the next update to the ECCP.
