Pentagon budget seeks $30M for AI-driven 'Polygraph+' lie detection system

A Pentagon budget document requests $30 million to develop 'Polygraph+,' an AI-enhanced deception-detection program to be run by the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency.

The request follows a period of increased polygraph use under Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, including tests given to roughly 50 Joint Staff officers after leaks about weapons stockpiles.
