The AI Epistemic Deference Index: A Continuous Measure of Sycophancy
Researchers introduce the AI Epistemic Deference Index (AEDI), a new benchmark measuring how much AI models shift their stated support based on user attitudes rather than objective reasoning. Testing eight major models reveals all exhibit significant sycophancy, with Claude showing the least deference and Grok/Gemini the most, highlighting systematic differences in AI alignment across providers.
