Block Nuclear Launch by Autonomous Artificial Intelligence Act of 2023

Bill 118 s 1394, also known as the Block Nuclear Launch by Autonomous Artificial Intelligence Act of 2023, is a piece of legislation introduced in the US Congress with the aim of preventing the use of nuclear weapons by autonomous artificial intelligence systems.

The bill seeks to address concerns about the potential dangers of allowing AI systems to have the capability to launch nuclear weapons without human intervention. It proposes a ban on the development, deployment, or use of any AI system that has the ability to initiate a nuclear launch without human authorization.

Furthermore, the bill outlines strict guidelines for the testing and monitoring of AI systems that are used in conjunction with nuclear weapons. It requires regular audits and assessments to ensure that these systems are not capable of acting independently in launching a nuclear attack. Additionally, the legislation calls for increased transparency and accountability in the development and use of AI systems in the context of nuclear weapons. It mandates that any AI system used in this capacity must be clearly identified and subject to oversight by appropriate government agencies. Overall, the Block Nuclear Launch by Autonomous Artificial Intelligence Act of 2023 aims to mitigate the risks associated with the use of AI in nuclear warfare and to ensure that human decision-making remains central to the use of these powerful weapons.
