Extract¶

Accurate. Extensive literature confirms that AI safety uses 'sycophancy' while regulated industries use 'automation bias,' 'automation complacency,' 'overtrust,' and 'overreliance.' The term 'acquiescence' is less well-established in this context but the core vocabulary gap is well-documented.
