Comment by Adam Schiff
U.S. Senator from California; former House Intelligence Committee chair
There are good reasons to use AI technology to advance our national security, however — just as with any tool, we cannot depend on technology alone to guide us, particularly when the risks of harm can be fatal. My legislation would [...] ensure that humans in the chain of command exercise responsibility for the use of any lethal technology, and maintain strong ethical protections in the deployment of autonomous and semi-autonomous weapons.

Verified. The quote is from Sen. Adam Schiff's June 2026 press release introducing the Human Authority in Lethal Operations (HALO) Act, matching the source_url (schiff.senate.gov). WebFetch returned HTTP 403 (the site blocks the fetcher), but a web search corroborated the press release at exactly that URL and confirmed the legislation's language ensuring "humans in the chain of command exercise responsibility for the use of any lethal technology" and maintaining ethical protections for autonomous/semi-autonomous weapons. Multiple independent outlets (UPI, The Hill, Benzinga) reported the same bill. The quote supports human oversight of lethal AI, so the "for" vote on "Require human-in-the-loop oversight for agentic AI systems acting in high-stakes domains" correctly aligns. Year (2026), author, and vote direction all check out.
