This bill creates a Defense Department steering committee to plan for artificial general intelligence (AGI).

Members include top leaders from each military branch, key Pentagon technology and intelligence offices, and representatives from defense innovation hubs, as chosen by the Secretary of Defense . The group will study where AGI technology is heading, how rivals may use it, how the military might use it, and what risks it brings. It will also outline ethics and policy guardrails, resources, and ways to partner with private companies to adopt the technology responsibly .

The committee must deliver a report by January 31, 2027. An unclassified portion must be made public, so people can see the main findings. The committee and its authorities end on December 31, 2027.
