In a recent meeting in San Francisco, U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland stated that the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) is intensifying its recruitment of computer scientists. This move is a proactive measure against the growing threat of crime associated with artificial intelligence (AI).
While addressing the gathering of attorneys, Merrill specified that AI-driven crime necessitates a novel strategic approach. To this end, the department is increasingly focusing on bolstering its technological acumen by bringing onboard experts in computer science.
Beyond this discussion of fighting AI crime, Garland lightened the mood by identifying a specific Taylor Swift song he believes should serve as an anthem for the DOJ. Unfortunately, he did not elaborate on why he thought this particular song resonated with the mission and role of the department.
