Several House lawmakers want assurances that any decision to launch nuclear weapons is made by humans, not an artificial intelligence system.
Reps. Juan Ciscomani, R-Ariz., and Ted Lieu, D-Calif., proposed an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act that would require human control over nuclear launch decisions.
Rep. Stephen Lynch, D-Mass, proposed a similar amendment to the NDAA that would require the Defense Department to adhere to the Biden administration’s February guidance on AI on the"Responsible Military Use of Artificial Intelligence and Autonomy." "States should design and engineer military AI capabilities so that they possess the ability to detect and avoid unintended consequences and the ability to disengage or deactivate deployed systems that demonstrate unintended behavior," it added. "States should also implement other appropriate safeguards to mitigate risks of serious failures."
