Extract

The claim describes the author's own search methodology. No independent verification was possible. The plausibility is supported by: (1) sycophancy as a term is primarily used in AI research, not corporate training; (2) corporate training typically lags research by years; (3) Georgetown Law's own analysis (2025-2026) frames sycophancy as a problem companies should address but have not.
