U.S. DOJ Launches “Super Intelligence” Task Force to Police AI Misuse

The U.S. Department of Justice has created the Super Intelligence Task Force, led by Associate Attorney General Stanley Woodward and Associate Deputy Attorney General Stephen Weiss, to combat misuse of advanced AI by foreign actors, criminal organizations, and fraudsters. The task force also urges AI developers to strengthen internal controls and risk reporting so AI “behaves as intended.” It joins broader federal AI initiatives, including the SEC’s 2027 exam priorities and the OCC’s new AI framework, though no timeline or coordination details were provided.
