Deloitte to pay money back to Albanese government after using AI in $440,000 report

Deloitte agreed to partially refund the Australian government after its $440,000 report for the Department of Employment and Workplace Relations was found to contain numerous errors—such as fabricated references and misattributed quotes—because generative AI was used during its drafting. Despite the flaws, the government issued a corrected version fixing the mistakes, and stated that the report’s core findings and recommendations remained unchanged.
