## Summary

The US Department of Justice has created a task force to address criminal misuse of advanced artificial intelligence and risks to national security. Its remit also signals that officials expect AI companies to strengthen internal controls and reporting, as the government gives greater prominence to the idea of “super intelligence”.

The task force will be led by Associate Attorney General Stanley Woodward and Associate Deputy Attorney General Stephen Weiss. It will focus on threats from foreign governments and criminal groups, as well as fraud or other crimes involving AI, and on safeguarding critical infrastructure and taxpayers. The DOJ gave no timeline or details on coordination with other agencies; the move comes amid wider federal efforts on AI, including a recent banking regulator framework and a Trump executive order challenging state regulation.
