U.S. Representative from Virginia's 8th district; co-sponsor of the GUARDRAILS Act on AI
No machine should ever be given the power to decide to kill a human being on its own. Allowing AI systems to independently select and engage targets carries serious risks; machines cannot understand morality or the value of human life, nor can they be held accountable for mistakes, war crimes, or catastrophic escalation.
