Senator proposes legislation to restrict military use of AI

Senator Elissa Slotkin, a Michigan Democrat, has introduced a bill to regulate the Pentagon’s use of artificial intelligence, aiming to codify existing guidelines that prevent AI from autonomously deciding to kill and prohibit its use for mass surveillance on Americans. The legislation also seeks to ban AI in nuclear weapon operations. Slotkin argues that this bill could have prevented recent tensions between the Pentagon and AI firm Anthropic, which is suing over being labeled a supply chain risk.
