My bill ensures a human is involved when deadly autonomous weapons are fired, AI cannot be used to spy on the American people, and that a human is on the switch to launch nuclear weapons. AI Verified source (2026)

Verification History

AI Verified Year: 2026 (statement on introducing the AI Guardrails Act, March 17, 2026) — current/relevant. Author attribution: Elissa Slotkin (U.S. Senator from Michigan) — correct; web search confirms the quote is attributed to her. Source verification: WebFetch of the slotkin.senate.gov URL returned HTTP 403, but web search returned the verbatim quote from her press release ("a human is involved when deadly autonomous weapons are fired, AI cannot be used to spy on the American people, and that a human is on the switch to launch nuclear weapons"). Vote alignment: vote is "for" the statement "Require human-in-the-loop oversight for agentic AI systems acting in high-stakes domains" — aligns perfectly, as her bill mandates human involvement for the highest-stakes military AI uses (lethal autonomous weapons, nuclear launch). Positive evidence the source contains the quote. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-8 · 12d ago
