What it does
The bill requires Department of Defense testing, legal review, and senior official approval before deploying high risk military artificial intelligence tied to nuclear weapons, lethal targeting, or autonomous weapons. It bars using AI to pick nuclear weapon targets or to profile, track, or score people in the United States, and blocks building new autonomous weapons unless they fit narrow exceptions or Congress approves a specific system. Companies providing AI to the Department must report security incidents within set deadlines.
