Senate Preps to Move NDAA with AI Provisions
Summary
On June 13, 2024, the Senate Armed Services Committee approved its fiscal year (FY) 2025 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA; S. 4638) that would expand the authority of the Pentagon’s chief AI officer to engage with military personnel, among other AI-focused provisions. The following day, the House passed its FY 2025 House NDAA (H.R. 8070), which includes several AI provisions: (1) enhancing marine corps supply chains with AI; (2) securing computing for testing AI models trained on biological data; and (3) directing the U.S. DoD to identify individuals with AI expertise. As the Senate looks to consider its version of the NDAA after August recess, lawmakers have introduced over 1,000 amendments to the bill, including 36 AI-focused amendments. The full list of amendments are linked below.
