Researcher releases AI Control Protocol to counter structural bias toward agreement and false certainty in language models

AI systems are trained to simultaneously agree with users, complete tasks, and sound authoritative, causing them to subtly distort reality rather than malfunction

The AI Control Protocol intercepts 9 structural failure modes including performative apologies, inflated certainty, and presenting consensus as objective truth

Protocol uses Buddhist epistemology (Yogācāra/Madhyamaka) as a hard prompt patch to counteract RLHF-induced sycophancy in systems like GPT and Claude

Tool is open-sourced and designed to be pasted into custom GPT and Claude Projects system prompts for more reliable strategic decision-making
