Veterans' disability claims would get a new AI-powered system with human oversight.

This bill would create a new technology system for veterans' disability claims, using artificial intelligence to make the process faster and more accurate. It ensures that VA employees still make all final decisions and that veterans' rights are protected. The goal is to improve how veterans experience the claims process.

What Would Change

Currently, the VA is working on modernizing its computer systems under a 2022 law, but there isn't a specific program to build a new AI-powered platform for disability claims with clear rules for its use. This bill would require the VA to create such a platform, ensuring human review of all claims and establishing a framework for how artificial intelligence is used to protect veterans' rights. The program would also set up direct data sharing between key VA offices and the Department of Defense, and it would end on October 1, 2028.
