The integrity of information presented in congressional sessions is critical for informed decision-making and public trust. This policy proposal outlines the implementation of a LIVE, neutral, and non-partisan AI fact-checking system to provide real-time verification of claims made during congressional hearings, briefings, and presentations.

Objectives

  1. Enhance Transparency – Provide immediate fact-based insights to ensure accuracy in congressional discourse.

  2. Support Informed Decision-Making – Assist legislators and the public by validating statements with credible sources.

  3. Ensure Non-Partisan Neutrality – Implement safeguards to prevent political bias in fact-checking.

  4. Improve Public Trust – Demonstrate a commitment to factual accuracy in government discussions.

Implementation Plan

  1. AI System Development
    -Utilize state-of-the-art natural language processing (NLP) models trained on verified and non-partisan data sources.
    -Implement machine learning algorithms that can cross-reference claims with real-time databases.
    -Develop a user-friendly interface for members of Congress, staff, and the public.

  2. Fact-Checking Framework
    -The AI will rely on reputable sources such as government databases, academic research, and independent fact-checking organizations.
    -Claims will be classified based on their verifiability, confidence score, and supporting evidence.
    -Provide citations for all fact-checking results to ensure transparency.

  3. Live Session Integration
    -Deploy AI tools during live congressional sessions to provide real-time analysis of statements.
    -Enable lawmakers and the public to access AI-generated fact-checking reports immediately.
    -Develop a moderation system where bipartisan human reviewers validate flagged statements for further scrutiny.

  4. Bias Mitigation and Oversight
    -Establish an independent bipartisan oversight committee to review AI fact-checking outputs.
    -Regular audits of AI performance to ensure neutrality and accuracy.
    -Open-source elements of the AI system to allow transparency and public confidence.

  5. Pilot Program and Evaluation
    -Launch an initial pilot program in select congressional hearings.
    -Gather feedback from lawmakers, experts, and the public.
    -Refine the system based on findings before full-scale implementation.

Expected Benefits

-Improved Legislative Accuracy – Reduces misinformation in official proceedings.

-Enhanced Public Engagement – Citizens can follow and verify congressional discussions in real-time.

-Increased Government Accountability – Encourages officials to rely on verifiable information in decision-making.
