Overview
Much of the current debate on AI policy centers around the lack of laws and regulations and the need for government to catch up with the quickly evolving technology. This debate, however, often overlooks that AI is already subject to a significant number of national security-related laws and several new legal regimes will be implemented in the near future. These national security-related regimes can cover a wide-range of situations such as the use of AI in weapons systems, AI systems used in critical infrastructure, AI algorithms that power social media feeds, and generative AI that can create so-called "deepfakes," to name just a few. While certain regimes directly target AI by name, other regimes may apply is less obvious or less direct ways.
This white paper provides a comprehensive overview of the various US national security laws that apply to AI today or will do so in the near future. A full copy of the white paper is available for download here.
