Pentagon Seeks $30.3 Million for AI-Enhanced Lie Detector Over Five Years

The Pentagon is asking Congress for $30.3 million over five years to develop Polygraph+ — also referred to as Polygraph Next — a proposed upgrade to the government’s long-running lie-detection toolkit. The program would pair artificial intelligence and machine learning with “standoff sensing,” a technique intended to assess subjects from a distance, raising fresh questions about accuracy, privacy and the future of interrogation technology.

Pentagon Seeks $30 Million for AI Lie Detector as Tech's Truth-Testing Ambitions Face Old Doubts

The Pentagon is asking Congress for $30.3 million over five years to develop an AI-enabled "Polygraph+" or "Polygraph Next" system that would combine machine learning with new "standoff sensing" methods to improve lie detection. The proposal revives a long-running government effort to make deception measurable, even as experts have repeatedly questioned whether technology can reliably tell truth from falsehood.

Pentagon Seeks $30 Million for AI-Powered Lie Detector to Hunt Leaks and Vet Staff

The Pentagon is asking Congress for $30.3 million over five years to develop Polygraph+, an AI-enabled upgrade to the government's long-criticized lie detection system. The project would combine machine learning with non-contact "standoff sensing" to assess credibility, even as experts warn the effort could deepen the flaws of traditional polygraphs rather than fix them.
