The Trump administration wants to use A.I. to spy on Americans without a warrant and to give A.I. power to make life and death decisions without humans involved. That would put our Constitutional rights and our lives in the hands of unaccountable AI systems. [...] Congress must act to protect Americans' safety and civil liberties.

AI Verified The quote explicitly opposes giving AI the power to make "life and death decisions without humans involved" and says Congress must act, which clearly implies support for banning autonomous lethal weapons. · YouCongress gpt-5.4-2026-03-05 · 18d ago

AI Unverifiable The quote objects to giving AI 'power to make life and death decisions without humans involved' and says 'Congress must act,' but it does not explicitly call for banning 'autonomous lethal weapons' as such. · YouCongress gpt-5.4-2026-03-05 · 18d ago

AI Verified The official Congressional Progressive Caucus press release dated February 27, 2026 attributes this statement to Greg Casar and contains the quoted wording verbatim across the statement text: “The Trump administration wants to use A.I. to spy on Americans without a warrant and to give A.I. power to make life and death decisions without humans involved. That would put our Constitutional rights and our lives in the hands of unaccountable AI systems.” It later continues, after one intervening sentence, “Congress must act to protect Americans’ safety and civil liberties.” So the prompt’s [...] is a faithful omission, and the quote is correctly attributed.

AI Verified Quote attributed to Rep. Greg Casar (Chair, Congressional Progressive Caucus), Feb 2026: "The Trump administration wants to use A.I. to spy on Americans without a warrant and to give A.I. power to make life and death decisions without humans involved..." The source URL (official progressives.house.gov press release) returned HTTP 403 to direct fetch, but web search confirmed the quote verbatim from both that official press release and Casar's own verified X post — wording matches exactly, including "spy on Americans without a warrant", "give A.I. power to make life and death decisions without humans involved", and "Congress must act". Author attribution correct; source is the primary official press release. Year 2026 correct and relevant. The quote supports banning AI for mass surveillance, consistent with the statement "Ban the use of AI for mass surveillance" (author already has a vote on this statement). Verified. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-8 · 1mo ago
