What it does
The bill tells the Secretary of Defense to write rules within 30 days. The rules must name certain AI firms. The rules must say how to remove their AI from all Pentagon computers and devices. The bill changes a 2026 defense law. It makes the deadline faster and the removal happen after 90 days.
Who it affects
The Pentagon must follow the new rules. Military computers and devices will lose certain AI. Some AI firms may be named in the rules.
One thing to notice
The bill does not say which firms count as covered AI firms. That list is in a 2026 law. Without knowing which firms are covered, it is hard to know if the rule is fair.
