The following report is a press release by the Department of Justice (DoJ), February 22nd:
Attorney General Merrick B. Garland announced today the designation of Jonathan Mayer as the Justice Department’s first Chief Science and Technology Advisor and Chief Artificial Intelligence (AI) Officer.
The Justice Department must keep pace with rapidly evolving scientific and technological developments in order to fulfill our mission to uphold the rule of law, keep our country safe, and protect civil rights.
Jonathan’s expertise will be invaluable in ensuring that the entire Justice Department — including our law enforcement components, litigating components, grantmaking entities, and U.S. Attorneys’ Offices — is prepared for both the challenges and opportunities that new technologies present.
said Attorney General Garland
As the Chief Science and Technology Advisor, Mayer will advise the Attorney General and Justice Department leadership and collaborate with components across the Department on complex issues requiring technical expertise, including on matters relating to cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, and other areas of emerging technology. Mayer will also spearhead the Department’s technological capacity-building efforts, including by advising on recruiting technical talent to ensure the Department has the expertise and is equipped to meet the challenges ahead.
Mayer will serve in the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Policy, which is developing a team of technical and policy experts in technology-related areas important to the Department’s responsibilities, including cybersecurity and AI. This team will advise leadership, as well as collaborate and coordinate with components across the Department and with federal partners on cutting-edge technological issues.
Additionally, in accordance with the President’s Executive Order on the Safe, Secure, and Trustworthy Development and Use of Artificial Intelligence, Attorney General Garland designated Mayer as the Justice Department’s Chief AI Officer. In this role, he will work on intra-departmental and cross-agency efforts on AI and adjacent issues. He will also lead the Justice Department’s newly established Emerging Technology Board, which coordinates and governs AI and other emerging technologies across the Department.
Mayer is an assistant professor at Princeton University’s Department of Computer Science and School of Public and International Affairs. His research has focused on the intersection of technology, policy, and law with an emphasis in criminal procedure, national security, and consumer protection. Mayer holds a Ph.D. in computer science from Stanford University and a J.D. from Stanford Law School.
The mission of the Office of Legal Policy is to develop and implement the Justice Department’s significant policy initiatives, handle special projects that implicate the interests of multiple Department components, coordinate with other interested Department components and other Executive Branch agencies, and serve as the primary policy advisor to the Attorney General and the Deputy Attorney General.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
For the transgression of a land many are the princes thereof: but by a man of understanding and knowledge the state thereof shall be prolonged.
Proverbs 28:2
I mention this announcement because it is again a good example of the proverb I listed; where sin and lawlessness increases, the government and rulers must increase and be appointed to mitigate. In this case, the AI craze – created by big-tech and the military industrial complex – has already gotten so ridiculous the government is using this as the opportunity for another power grab.
The DoJ referenced Biden’s executive order on AI signed last October, and I highlighted some of the salient parts of it, which revealed that it is just a ploy for the government to give themselves more power, and legally weaponize AI against Americans while absolving themselves of wrongdoing.

[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

But initiated, arrogant & assured of his ‘superiority’ & ‘giftedness’, no doubt. Putty in the hands of Satan’s antichrist counterfeit, & fodder for their dialectic. Such a wicked world.
