Deloitte Australia’s recent admission of using artificial intelligence in a $440,000 government report serves as a stark reminder of the potential pitfalls of tech adoption in critical sectors. The report, which was riddled with errors, including fabricated academic references and a nonexistent quote from a Federal Court judgment, raises serious questions about the reliability of AI-generated content in professional settings. In an age where AI tools are increasingly integrated into business processes, this incident underscores the importance of human oversight and rigorous fact-checking.

In the evolving landscape of creativity, the rise of AI-generated art has sparked a heated debate among artists and technologists alike. As seen in the case of Halifax photographer Lauren Thomander, who uses ChatGPT to transform her images into illustrations, the question arises: is this practice ethical or simply a new tool in the artist’s toolkit? While some embrace the convenience and innovation AI brings, others argue that it undermines the essence of human creativity and collaboration.
