Read twice and referred to the Committee on Armed Services.
This bill creates a Defense Department steering committee to plan for artificial general intelligence (AGI). It must be set up by April 1, 2026, and is co-led by the Deputy Secretary of Defense and the Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. 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. The bill defines AGI as AI systems that could match or beat human intelligence across most tasks, not just narrow, single-purpose tools .
