A bill to require the Secretary of Defense to establish the Artificial General Intelligence Steering Committee, and for other purposes.

This bill would require the Secretary of Defense to create the Artificial General Intelligence Steering Committee (AGI Steering Committee) by April 1, 2026. The committee would be a high-level, cross-cutting body within the Department of Defense (DoD) tasked with evaluating the trajectory of artificial general intelligence (AGI) and related enabling technologies, assessing potential military applications and threat scenarios, and developing a strategy for adopting AGI within DoD. The committee would also consider ethical guardrails, funding approaches, performance goals, and mechanisms for public-private partnerships. It would produce an unclassified report to Congress by January 31, 2027, with a possible classified annex, and the entire framework would terminate on December 31, 2027. Definitions clarify AGI as AI-capable systems with the potential to match or exceed human intelligence across most cognitive tasks, and the “innovation ecosystem” as a regional network of private, academic, and public institutions. In short, the bill creates a formal DoD body to map AGI development, assess risks and opportunities, and guide implementation and funding decisions, with a sunset provision after a two-year planning window and a public reporting requirement.
