The federal government would establish safety and design standards that weapons systems with autonomous or semi-autonomous features must meet before military use. These requirements would apply to the Department of Defense and defense contractors developing such weapons, ensuring they include safeguards like human oversight and the ability to be shut down or controlled by operators. The measure aims to prevent unintended harm and maintain human control over lethal military decisions.
