According to CryptoBriefing, as reported by Techub News, the U.S. Senate version of the 2026 National Defense Authorization Act includes an amendment to prohibit artificial intelligence from autonomously launching nuclear weapons or using lethal force. This amendment, spearheaded by Senators Slotkin and Gillibrand, requires human involvement in the decision-making process regarding nuclear weapons deployment and lethal force. Building on related legislation and Department of Defense directives from 2023, this amendment reflects a congressional trend towards stronger human oversight of lethal autonomous weapons systems. The Senate version still needs to be reconciled with the House version before it can officially take effect.
