Top auditing firm pays price for letting AI fabricate reports

Deloitte Australia must refund the Australian government after an AI-powered report was found to contain serious errors.

Deloitte Australia has had to partially refund the Australian government after its assessment report was found to contain serious errors.

The cause was determined to be that the company let its AI tool, specifically Azure OpenAI GPT-4o, automatically generate and cite content without proper moderation.

The original report even contained academic citations of non-existent people and a fake ruling from the Federal Court.

Social welfare expert Chris Rudge was the first to discover the errors and make them public.

After being discovered, Deloitte updated the report, removing dozens of incorrect citations and rewriting the entire list of references.

The Australian government confirmed that Deloitte had admitted its error and agreed to refund the money, but insisted the overall results of the report were not affected.

Experts say the incident is a clear demonstration of the risks when organizations abuse AI without quality control.

Deloitte has yet to officially respond, but the incident has become a valuable reminder that AI cannot completely replace humans in jobs that require absolute precision.
