Read twice and referred to the Committee on Armed Services.
Summary
The AI Guardrails Act bars the Department of Defense from using artificial intelligence to fire nuclear weapons, to monitor or target people inside the United States without a clear legal basis, and to employ lethal autonomous weapons without human oversight. It allows the Secretary of Defense to request a one‑year waiver for autonomous weapons if strict safety criteria are met, and requires prompt notification and detailed reporting to Congress. The goal is to keep U.S. military AI safe, reliable, and consistent with constitutional rights.
