A bill to require the Secretary of Defense to establish the Artificial General Intelligence Steering Committee, and for other purposes.
Summary
S. 2604 would direct the Department of Defense to create an Artificial General Intelligence Steering Committee. This committee would likely be responsible for coordinating policy, oversight, and strategic direction related to artificial general intelligence (AGI) development as it relates to national security and defense operations.
If enacted, this bill would formalize how the Defense Department approaches AGI governance and ensures that military leadership has structured oversight of this emerging technology. The practical impact would be the establishment of a dedicated governance structure within the Pentagon to manage AGI-related initiatives, though the specific authorities and responsibilities of the committee are not detailed in the available information.
Currently, the bill has been introduced in the Senate and referred to committee for consideration. It has not yet been voted on by the full chamber.
