The United States Department of Justice (DoJ) has issued new compliance guidelines that require companies to assess the potential risks associated with artificial intelligence (AI). Compliance officers must now consider how AI could facilitate illegal activities, as failure to do so may result in significant fines. The updated Evaluation of Corporate Compliance Program (ECCP) guidelines emphasize the importance of monitoring AI systems to prevent criminal behavior.
Nicole Argentieri from the DoJ highlighted that companies will be held accountable for any illegal actions taken by their AI systems. This means that executives need to proactively identify and mitigate risks associated with AI technologies. The guidelines also include provisions for whistleblower protections, encouraging employees to report any illegal activities.
