His bill would also require a review process for autonomous or semi-autonomous weapon systems, in addition to barring the military from using AI to monitor individuals for constitutional activities, removing human involvement from nuclear weapons deployment and purchasing personal data on Americans from third parties in some cases.

I didn't expect this bill to be an improvement over what the Trump administration currently does, but it seems it actually is. Especially that last part.

(Regarding the headline, that's more smoke and mirrors. I don't think any AI company wants to build a tool that kills people, not because they don't want to, but because they know the responsibility would rest on them rather than the military. And they want the money in the murder sector with none of the responsibility.)
