C024¶


Research	R0057 — RLHF Yes-Men Claims v3
Run	2026-04-01
Claim	C024

Claim: The EU AI Act chose the term automation bias and produced a deployer-awareness obligation (train people not to overtrust AI), not a system-design constraint.

BLUF: Confirmed. Article 14 of the EU AI Act explicitly uses 'automation bias' and requires deployers to ensure oversight personnel remain aware of 'the possible tendency of automatically relying or over-relying on the output produced by a high-risk AI system (automation bias).' This is a deployer awareness obligation, not a system-design constraint on AI providers.

Probability: Very likely (80-95%) | Confidence: High
