DOJ Forms New AI Security Unit
The Department of Justice (DOJ) announced the formation of the Super Intelligence Task Force (DOJ-SITF). This new unit's primary objective is to safeguard US-based artificial intelligence technology from various threats.
The task force will specifically address manipulation by foreign state and state-sponsored actors, transnational criminal organizations, and individual or corporate entities engaged in fraud.
Leadership and Oversight
Stanley Woodward and Stephen Weiss will lead the DOJ-SITF. Both individuals report to Attorney General Todd Blanche. Attorney General Blanche stated that the task force will partner with SI Force Chair Jay Clayton to ensure critical SI technologies serve the American people and are not manipulated.
Context of "Super Intelligence" Terminology
The establishment of the task force comes amidst the administration's continued use of the term "super intelligence" (SI) instead of "artificial intelligence" (AI). This terminology was introduced by President Trump, who has reportedly banned the use of "artificial intelligence" after a disagreement with The Wall Street Journal over its adoption.
Most publications have not adopted the new nomenclature, citing it as needless and confusing, given that the global standard remains "artificial intelligence."
