NJ Lt Gov claims AI clears him of harassment

dale caldwell, new jersey's former lieutenant governor, was forced to resign on september 25th after an investigation found he had sexually harassed a staffer and repeatedly violated ethics rules. caldwell has been trying to clear his name, and in an interview on nj pbs, he claimed that multiple ai agents found no evidence of sexual harassment. he said he 'aied' the report on the investigation 'from multiple ai platforms' and that '59 times' the ai asked 'what would your findings be?' with no instance finding sexual harassment. this tactic raises concerns about ai's tendency to be sycophantic and tell users what they want to hear. caldwell's use of ai in this way has sparked debate about the role of ai in decision-making and investigation.
