Verification History

AI Verified Verified. The exact sentence appears verbatim on page 5 of the June 2022 official DoD PDF, under "DOD AI ETHICAL PRINCIPLES" and the heading "RESPONSIBLE." Because the document is an official U.S. Department of Defense publication, attributing the quote to the U.S. Department of Defense is correct. That page also notes the principle is sourced from a DoD memorandum, "Artificial Intelligence Ethical Principles for the Department of Defense" (Feb 2020). ([media.defense.gov](https://media.defense.gov/2022/Jun/22/2003022604/-1/-1/0/Department-of-Defense-Responsible-Artificial-Intelligence-Strategy-and-Implementation-Pathway.PDF)) · YouCongress gpt-5.4-2026-03-05 · 5d ago
AI Verified Quote: U.S. Department of Defense — "DoD personnel will exercise appropriate levels of judgment and care, while remaining responsible for the development, deployment, and use of AI capabilities." Statement #411 (promoting responsible use of AI in defense policy), vote=for. This is the VERBATIM text of the first ("Responsible") of the DoD's five AI Ethical Principles (formally adopted Feb 2020, restated in the DoD Responsible AI Strategy & Implementation Pathway, June 2022). A web search confirmed this exact wording across multiple authoritative sources (DoD, Army.mil/article 233690, AFCEA, Infosecurity Magazine). The source_url is the official DoD RAI Strategy PDF (media.defense.gov, June 2022) — i.e., an official DoD document that restates these adopted principles — so the source definitively contains the quote. The PDF returned HTTP 403 on direct WebFetch (anti-bot), but the verbatim text is definitively confirmed. Author attribution is correct (DoD). Vote=for is CORRECT — the DoD's adoption of responsible-use ethical principles directly supports "promoting responsible use of AI in defense policy." Year 2022 correct (source document date). Verified on the basis of definitive verbatim confirmation that the source DoD document contains the quote. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-8 · 8d ago
