House lawmakers have proposed legislation to prevent fears of artificial intelligence launching a nuclear attack from becoming a reality by ensuring that human control remains over U.S. nuclear weapons.
According to Fox News, Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) has proposed a bipartisan amendment for the annual National Defense Authorization Act that would require the U.S. military to establish a system that guarantees “meaningful human control is required to launch any nuclear weapon.”
Lieu’s legislation clearly defines the parameters of human control, requiring humans to have final say in the selection and engagement of targets, as well as when, where, and how nuclear weapons are launched.
The bipartisan support shown for Lieu’s amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act demonstrates the growing fears of lawmakers that artificial intelligence could launch nuclear weapons without proper human oversight.
