Trump said the department would watch the technology closely.

Reuters did not report an enforcement case, testing standard or trigger for intervention. The report describes Trump's policy position, not a new Justice Department action.

A Justice Department case or published guidance would show when the department plans to intervene. AI companies and affected people still do not know what conduct could draw scrutiny.
