Rep. Ronny Jackson will introduce legislation Thursday to codify a section of President Donald Trump’s artificial intelligence strategy to establish a military research institute at a senior military college to help integrate artificial intelligence within the U.S. military.
The Texas Republican’s legislation, called the Growing University AI Research for Defense (GUARD) Act, is designed to ensure the U.S. maintains a lead over the Chinese Communist Party in AI for defense and national security, according to background information on the bill obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation.
