Research R0057 — RLHF Yes-Men Claims v3
Run 2026-04-01
Claim C013
Hypothesis H1

Statement

No corporate training materials warn about sycophancy across all 29 sources

Status

Current: Plausible

Supporting Evidence

Evidence Summary
SRC01-E01 No mainstream corporate AI training materials found that explicitly warn about sycophancy or related terms

Contradicting Evidence

Evidence Summary
No contradicting evidence found

Reasoning

Web searches for corporate AI training materials addressing sycophancy, automation bias, or overtrust returned no results showing such warnings in training curricula. Georgetown Law and Brookings identify the gap but do not fill it with training materials themselves.

Relationship to Other Hypotheses

H1 represents full accuracy. H2 allows for partial correctness. H3 is eliminated by the evidence.
