The Department of Justice (DoJ) Criminal Division’s Computer Crime and Intellectual Property Section (CCIPS) has announced its new Strategic Approach to Countering Cybercrime, the Meritalk reported.

“The Strategic Approach to Countering Cybercrime emphasizes the division’s focus on using all tools to disrupt criminal activity and hold criminal actors accountable, developing law and policy to prevent and prosecute cybercrime, and promoting cybersecurity through capacity building and public education. It also highlights the division’s expertise in collecting and using electronic evidence,” Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General Nicole Argentieri said while introducing the guidance at a CSIS event.

Argentieri also announced that CCIPS is updating its 2017 Vulnerability Disclosure Framework to enhance AI research and assist public and private organizations in developing effective vulnerability disclosure programs.

Earlier this year, the DoJ sought public feedback regarding the utilization of artificial intelligence AI within the criminal justice system.

In a notice published in the Federal Register, the National Institute of Justice (NIJ), which is a part of the DoJ, indicated its intention to gather input to shape a forthcoming report on the application of AI in the criminal justice domain.

In February this year, the DoJ also launched a new initiative called ‘Justice AI’ to study the impact of emerging technologies like AI on the US Justice System.
