Congress is behind in putting left and right limits on the use of AI, and the first place to start should be at the Pentagon. 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. This legislation further prevents government invasion of individuals' privacy and constitutional rights by clearly and explicitly prohibiting DoD's use of AI for domestic mass surveillance.

Checked author attribution, year, relevance, vote alignment, and source. The slotkin.senate.gov source_url returned HTTP 403 to direct fetch, but web search confirmed the quote from that official Senate release on the AI Guardrails Act (March 17, 2026): "Congress is behind in putting left and right limits on the use of AI, and the first place to start should be at the Pentagon," and the bill ensures human involvement in autonomous lethal weapons and nuclear launch and explicitly prohibits DoD use of AI for domestic mass surveillance. Attribution to Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) is correct; year 2026 is current and relevant. Vote "for" the statement "Ban the use of AI for mass surveillance" aligns directly with her legislation prohibiting AI domestic mass surveillance. Source is the primary official Senate page.
