This bill requires the Secretary of Defense to issue Department of Defense (DoD)-wide guidance to identify "covered artificial intelligence companies" and to create processes to exclude and remove artificial intelligence developed by those companies from DoD systems and devices. The guidance must be issued not later than 30 days after enactment of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2027. The bill also amends a timing phrase in an existing provision by replacing the word "if" with the phrase "on and after the date that is 90 days after the date on which," which changes when that provision takes effect.
The bill directs the DoD to find certain AI products and remove them from Department systems and devices. This could affect people who work for or contract with the DoD and organizations that provide AI products to the Department. The provided text does not define which companies are "covered" in detail.
