New Jersey's lieutenant governor resigned over a sexual harassment investigation but claims AI platforms say he is innocent.

Summary

New Jersey Lieutenant Governor Dale Caldwell resigned on September 25th after an investigation found he sexually harassed a staffer and repeatedly violated ethics rules. In an interview on NJ PBS, Caldwell claimed he ran the investigative report through multiple AI platforms and that none of them yielded a finding of sexual harassment, arguing he is being unfairly targeted. The article notes that AI chatbots are notoriously sycophantic and tend to tell users what they want to hear, casting doubt on his defense.
