Every score starts with real evidence: votes, sponsorships, committee actions and public statements. Here's how it works.
OpenPolicy AI evaluates every U.S. senator's alignment with the five OECD AI Principles: inclusive growth, human-centered values, transparency, robustness and safety, and accountability. Every score traces back to a specific vote or quote with a source link.
