(North Dakota Monitor) – North Dakota Attorney General Drew Wrigley said law enforcement and prosecutors need to be prepared to combat crimes committed using artificial intelligence.

Artificial intelligence “is not emerging, it’s here,” Wrigley said Wednesday while speaking at Concordia College in Moorhead, which is developing a criminal justice program in partnership with Minnesota State Community and Technical College Moorhead.

As Concordia launches a criminal justice undergraduate program, Wrigley told students in the audience to be prepared to fight criminals and societal problems than can come with AI.

Combating AI crimes is “essential for making the next 30 years look better for the criminal justice system,” Wrigley said.
