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

# Pentagon Seeks $30 Million for AI-Powered Lie Detector The U.S. military wants to spend $30 million developing a new lie detector that uses artificial intelligence to analyze whether someone is telling the truth, going beyond traditional polygraph machines. The system would include a technique called "standoff sensing," which means it could potentially detect deception without requiring someone to be hooked up to equipment. Essentially, the government is betting that AI can improve how officials identify when people are lying during interrogations or security screenings.
