Bill > S2604

This bill requires the Secretary of Defense to establish the Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) Steering Committee by April 1, 2026, which will be composed of high-ranking defense officials including the Deputy Secretary of Defense, Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, service branch vice chiefs, and various defense undersecretaries. The committee's primary responsibilities include analyzing the current trajectory of artificial intelligence technologies that could support AGI development, assessing potential military applications, evaluating adversaries' AGI capabilities, developing an AGI adoption strategy for the Department of Defense, and examining potential threats from adversarial AGI use. The committee will focus on a wide range of technologies such as frontier AI models, agentic algorithms, neuromorphic computing, and cognitive science applications. By January 31, 2027, the committee must submit an unclassified report (with a possible classified annex) to congressional defense committees detailing its findings, and the report will be made publicly available. The bill defines AGI as AI systems with the potential to match or exceed human intelligence across most cognitive tasks, distinguishing it from narrow AI designed for specific domains. The committee's requirements will sunset on December 31, 2027, ensuring a focused, time-limited approach to understanding and preparing for AGI's potential impact on national defense.
