The bill mandates the Secretary of Defense to establish an Artificial General Intelligence Steering Committee by April 1, 2026. This committee, co-chaired by the Deputy Secretary of Defense and the Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, will comprise high-level military and civilian leaders from across the Department of Defense. Its primary role is to comprehensively analyze the evolving landscape of artificial general intelligence and its implications for national security. The Steering Committee's responsibilities include analyzing current and emerging AGI models, assessing the technological trajectory of adversaries, and identifying military applications and implications for the Department. It is tasked with developing a robust strategy for DoD's adoption of AGI, which encompasses establishing ethical and policy guardrails, determining required resources, and exploring public-private partnerships. Furthermore, the committee will analyze threats from adversarial AGI use and formulate counter-strategies, with a report on its findings due to congressional defense committees by January 2027 before the committee sunsets in December 2027.
