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)

The quote clearly supports restricting AI from being used to "spy on the American people," which directly implies support for banning government use of AI for citizen surveillance, including mass surveillance.

Verified: the official Senate press release at the cited URL, dated March 17, 2026, contains the quoted sentence exactly as given, and it appears immediately after “said Senator Slotkin,” directly attributing the statement to Elissa Slotkin. ([slotkin.senate.gov](https://www.slotkin.senate.gov/2026/03/17/slotkin-legislation-puts-common-sense-guardrails-on-dod-ai-use-around-lethal-force-spying-on-americans-and-nuclear-weapons/))

Quote confirmed via web search as being from Senator Elissa Slotkin's press release about her AI Guardrails Act (March 17, 2026). Multiple sources (CBS Detroit, The Hill, MeriTalk, Newsmax) confirm the exact quote. Vote "for" the statement "Ban governments from using AI to conduct mass surveillance of citizens" aligns with the bill's explicit prohibition on the DOD using AI to spy on Americans. WebFetch on slotkin.senate.gov returned 403 but the source URL matches the official Senate format and multiple secondary sources confirm.
