Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) introduced legislation to impose new safeguards on the Defense Department's use of artificial intelligence (AI), including limits on domestic surveillance and requirements for human control over lethal decisions.
Schiff Pushes AI Guardrails
On Monday, Schiff announced the proposal in a post on X, arguing that stronger oversight is needed as AI becomes more integrated into military and defense operations.
"There's an urgent need for guardrails around the Defense Department's use of AI, to ensure that it is consistent with our national security and privacy," Schiff wrote.
The California Democrat said his bill would "protect Americans from unlawful domestic surveillance" and "insist that humans make the final decision on the use of force by autonomous weapons systems."
