this is the "cbs overnight news." after days of negotiations and late-night conversations to increase the country's $31.4 trillion debt limit, tonight there appears to be a bipartisan relief. the president and republican leadership now have a tentative agreement to head off a potential default on government loans. however, there are still many hurdles in the way as we await the text of that bill. before president biden can sign the deal it must first pass the house, then the senate. today majority leader chuck schumer put senators on notice that a vote could come as early as next weekend. before the june 5th deadline.

environmental permitting for new energy projects. >> i'm not happy with some of the things i'm hearing about. >> reporter: even as some progressive democrats and conservative republicans voice and tweet opposition, party leaders are sounding optimistic they can get it across the finish line. >> can you do that? can you guarantee people that we will not see a default? >> yes. >> reporter: the first real test will be a vote in the house as early as wednesday. jericka? >> natalie brand at the white house for us tonight. thank you. let's turn now to scott macfarlane on capitol hill. scott, you've been speaking with lawmakers from both sides all day. just how much danger are we still in at this hour? >> reporter: jericka, getting an agreement is one thing. getting the votes for an agreement, that's a different challenge. i've spoken to multiple house democrats with grave concerns they say about these adjustments, the tightening of eligibility for nutritional

assistance. the dealmakers tried to soften that blow by exempting people experiencing homelessness and veterans, but it's a real concern and itou meanwhile, the freedom caucus members in the republican conference have criticized the size of the potential debt ceiling increase and the size, they say too small, of the spending cuts. with 72 hours till the first possible vote, jericka, these concerns can spread and spread widely. >> and these concerns aren't new. the debt ceiling limit was created back in 1917. it's been raised 78 times since 1960. if the house and senate don't reach a deal, scott, can you explain this so-called emergency backup plan? >> reporter: there's something called i adischarge petition which all 213 house democrats have signed. if they can get five republicans to join them they can vote to raise the debt ceiling without all of the things in this controversial agreement. but five republicans? it's a pretty heavy lift. and it might not be ready by june 5th. all of this could rattle the

artificial intelligence. brooke silva braga got a peek during a visit to sikorsky aircraft which builds the blackhawk helicopter. >> reporter: since the 1970s blackhawks have been piloted into war. >> everybody's top deck? >> yeah, we're all good. >> reporter: sikorsky's igor cherepinski wanted to show us how that might change. with safety pielths sitting idly by a couple taps on a tablet lifted us off the ground. >> we told it to take off to 50 feet and hover. >> reporter: flying the experimental blackhawk is as easy as moving a map. >> now just drag the map somewhere. >> as soon as you press it you feel it, we're going. it's very weird to be in a helicopter that's not being piloted. >> well, it is being piloted. in the moment you happen to be in control. you're the pilot. >> is this piloting or is this some new thing? >> we all it operating was you're making ti eachine decides how to do

it. >> reporter: its developers call this an infliction point in aviation. part of a larger effort to change how wars are fought, being led by darp, the defense department's innovation lab. they've also developed autonomous off-road buggies, unmanned undersea vehicles and swarms and swarms of drones. >> right now we're going to say hey, we want to pick up this load. >> reporter: part of his motivation for the autonomous helicopter project was the famed blackhawk down mission dramatized in the 2001 movie where attempts to help stranded troops only led to more downed aircraft and american casualties. >> this allows you to make decisions in a different way. it's like, well, i'm willing to risk the aircraft because i can save lives but i'm not risking a pilot. >> you release the load just because -- >> because anybody can do it. >> hit the release button. >> okay. r-e-l. >> and there it go. >> there it goes. wow. >> reporter: making combat safer, avoiding another

>> the ai identifies it, draws this red box around it, allowing a human then to take a closer look and say yep, that's an enemy tank. >> reporter: but let's say you couldn't communicate with this drone. you can say hey, if you reach this level of certainty drop the bomb. >> all the technology to build an autonomous weapon is right here. it's zralted right in this video with commercially available technology. all it takes is a few lines of code to take the human out of the loop. >> reporter: shari was an army ranger then worked for the office of the secretary of defense on autonomous government policy. since leaving government he's written two books on the topic, army of none and this year's four battlegrounds. does this shift help or hurt the u.s. in their military position? >> the u.s. has been in a dominant military position for decades. so almost any major change is a major risk for the u.s. military and is an opportunity for underdogs. >> reporter: among them china. even before the age of offensive a.i. begins they've already weaponized half a

billion cameras to track their own people and sold the tech to 80 other countries. when ai can power actual robots popular uprisings like the fall of the soviet union could be much more difficult to quash. >> the last check is the soldiers laying down their weapons and saying i will not fire on my weapons. if ai is playing that, if it's robot soldiers, regimes wouldn't necessarily need that kind of support from at least a part of the population. >> reporter: shari is not all doom and gloom. he points out that in combat between nations robot soldiers will legally need to follow the law of war and might do so better than emotional or fatigued humans. and while this all may feel new, defensive automated systems like these combating incoming fire have been used for decades. but yes, shari does worry about the eventual marriage of advanced robots and military ai

that becomes smaller and faster than we are. >> where the pace of combat action eclipses humans' ability to understand and to keep up. and militaries have to effectively hand over control to machines in order to remain effective on the battlefield. >> so at that point humans would be out of the decision-making. uft just have to trust the machines and that you programmed them well. >> yes. which is the scary thing, right? and then how do you maintain human control over warfare? how do you manage escalation? how do you end the war? >> well, the machines will decide when it's over. >> right. which is a scary prospect. >> reporter: scary enough that when we spoke to ai pioneer jeff r. jeffrey hinton in march just before he quit google to speak more freely about his concerns with ai the number one danger he pointed to was autonomous weapons. >> the idea of wiring in some rule that sayev hurt a person but it's being designed to hurt people. >> reporter: the most effective autonomous soldiers, he says, will be given the terrifying

freedom to choose the best way to kill the enemy regardless of collateral damage. >> so people like putin are going to want robots like that. >> do you see any way out of this? is it a treaty? what is it? >> i think the best bet is something like a geneva convention, but it's going to be very difficult. >> reporter: at the u.n. there have been small steps toward generally vague international rules. the u.s. military recently said it will keep humans in the lop on nuclear launch decisions but not necessarily conventional weapons. >> do you think militaries should commit to keeping humans in the loop? >> i don't think that's viable. if you're going to wave i amagic wand and say we're going to stop the growth of the technology there's proshl benefits in that. but i don't think it's viable today. >> so humans will not stay in the loop. >> a human looking at a target saying yep that's a valid target, pressing a button every single time, that would be ideal. i'm not sure that's going to be the case. >> reporter: we requested an
