Bill > S1394

This bill, the "Block Nuclear Launch by Autonomous Artificial Intelligence Act of 2023," prohibits the use of federal funds to launch a nuclear weapon using an autonomous weapons system that is not subject to meaningful human control. The bill defines an "autonomous weapons system" as a system that can select and engage targets without further human intervention, and "meaningful human control" as human control over the selection and engagement of targets, as well as the time, location, and manner of use. The bill's findings cite international laws and policies, as well as expert analysis, that emphasize the importance of human control and legal judgment in the nuclear command and control process, given the devastating consequences of large-scale nuclear war.
