    Anti-Corruption Report
The DOJ is alert to how artificial intelligence (AI) can supercharge crime. Earlier this year, Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco said AI adds danger to existing offenses, warranting tougher penalties, and noted the DOJ’s use of the technology to fight crime along with new projects in which experts would advise on the DOJ’s responsible use of AI. The DOJ also updated its Evaluation of Corporate Compliance Programs in late September, with passages instructing prosecutors to consider a company’s AI use and management of its risks. This article examines the DOJ’s recent moves regarding AI, with insights from Paul Weiss partner John Carlin about the effects AI can have on crime, its detection and corporate compliance.
