The Pentagon wants $30 million to build an AI-powered lie detector

The U.S. Department of Defense has asked for $30.3 million over the next five years to develop an advanced polygraph system, called “Polygraph+” or “Polygraph Next”. The effort will focus on AI‑driven scoring algorithms and a method known as “standoff sensing”. The aim is to produce a more accurate, AI‑powered lie detection capability.
