AI Summary

This bill affirms that, under the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution, a person may use autonomous artificial intelligence (AI) for personal defense purposes, subject to specified limitations. It defines "artificial intelligence" as technology that can perform tasks typically requiring human intelligence, and "autonomous artificial intelligence" as AI that can operate and make decisions independently, without ongoing human intervention. The bill states that the use of autonomous AI for personal defense is consistent with and protected by the Second Amendment, provided the AI system would make the same decision as a reasonable person in the given circumstance. If the AI's decision is deemed unjustified, the owner or employer of the AI would not be able to use justification as a defense.
