Mark Kelly on Ban autonomous lethal weapons

Mark Kelly

U.S. Senator from Arizona; former NASA astronaut; author of AI for America roadmap

AI is already making our military more capable, but we have to be smart about how we integrate it to keep Americans safe. We can't lose the essential skills that make our military the best in the world or implement systems that could make life and death decisions without human accountability. These bipartisan solutions will integrate AI into the military smartly so that we strengthen our national security.
