Bill Summary
A BILL To prohibit the use of Federal funds to launch a nuclear weapon using an autonomous weapons system that is not subject to meaningful human control, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill prohibits the use of federal funds to launch a nuclear weapon using an autonomous weapons system that is not subject to meaningful human control. It defines an "autonomous weapons system" as a system that can select and engage targets without further intervention by an operator, and "meaningful human control" as human control over the selection and engagement of targets, and the time, location, and manner of use. The bill cites findings related to international humanitarian law and the risk of large-scale nuclear war to justify this prohibition, aiming to ensure that any decision to launch nuclear weapons is not made by artificial intelligence.
