The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Illinois is pleased to share that U.S. Attorney Andrew S. Boutros has been appointed to Co-Chair two critical Subcommittees on the Attorney General’s Advisory Committee (AGAC): (1) the Artificial Intelligence Subcommittee as well as (2) the White Collar, Cyber, and Crypto Subcommittee. Below is a statement from U.S. Attorney Andrew S. Boutros about his two appointments: “I am deeply grateful to General Todd Blanche for giving me the opportunity to Co-Chair two cutting-edge AGAC Subcommittees. I am confident that the Subcommittees on Artificial Intelligence as well as White Collar, Cyber, and Crypto will have a strong, positive impact on these various areas at the local, regional, and national level. Our work will very much focus on innovation as well as ways to maximize effectiveness, accuracy, productivity, and efficiency. Just look at the Department of Justice’s exceptional work on the Trade Fraud Task Force, for example; through our work on the AGAC we’ll be able to bring even more awareness and support to that top enforcement priority. Similarly, artificial intelligence is a revolutionary, generational tool that dramatically impacts all performance metrics. Working through the AGAC, our Subcommittee will study and recommend ways the Department can harness the power and versatility of artificial intelligence in a responsible, thoughtful, and effective way. I am very much looking forward to working closely with my Co-Chair David Metcalf, the United States Attorney for @USAO_EDPA, on artificial intelligence, as well as my Co-Chair Jason Reding Quiñones, the United States Attorney for @USAO_SDFL, on white collar enforcement, cybercrime, and cryptocurrency fraud. There is no doubt that our combined efforts on the AGAC, along with those from Department of Justice leadership and other U.S. Attorneys from across the country, will allow us to achieve important results and strong progress on behalf of the people of this great country.”
