AI Weapons & Military AI

Legislation and policies governing the use of AI in military applications, autonomous weapons systems, defense procurement, and lethal autonomous weapons (LAWS). Primarily federal-level policy.

AI Overview

The DOD’s AI budget hit $1.8B in 2025, but there’s still no binding US policy on autonomous weapons targeting. Defense contractors spent $43M lobbying to keep it that way.
