C025¶


Research	R0056 — RLHF Yes-Men Claims v2
Run	2026-04-01
Claim	C025

Claim: The DoD's CaTE center (Center for Calibrated Trust Measurement and Evaluation) has published detailed frameworks for measuring trust in AI systems but does not address system output behavior or the concept of AI adjusting output to match user expectations.

BLUF: Likely accurate. CaTE focuses on operator trust calibration and human-machine teaming for autonomous weapons systems. The guidebook addresses trust measurement but appears focused on system reliability and human-systems integration rather than AI output behavior or sycophancy.

Probability: Likely (55-80%) | Confidence: Medium
