RFK Jr.'s MAHA Report Riddled with AI-Generated Fake Citations

An investigation found dozens of errors in the White House's 'Make America Healthy Again' commission report, including broken links, wrong authors, and entirely fictitious sources. The presence of 'oaicite' markers in URLs strongly suggests that ChatGPT was used to generate citations, leading to AI hallucinations. The White House described the errors as a 'formatting issue' and updated the report to correct some of them, while defending the report's substance.

Banjo's Live Time system overstated capabilities and posed privacy risks for Utah public safety data

The Utah State Auditor reviewed the contract for Banjo's Live Time public safety application.

SQA exam algorithm disproportionately downgraded poorer pupils, report finds

The Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA) used an algorithm to moderate 2020 exam results after COVID-19 cancelled exams. The algorithm disproportionately downgraded students from disadvantaged backgrounds, leading to a public outcry and a government U-turn. An independent report criticised the SQA and Scottish Government for failing to properly assess the equality impacts and for not making the algorithm available for analysis. The SQA has expressed no regret over the moderation approach.

Retorio AI personality test swayed by candidate appearance in BR experiment

Bayerischer Rundfunk journalists conducted experiments with Retorio's AI video interview analysis tool. The AI, which assesses personality traits from short videos, produced different scores when the same actress changed her appearance (glasses, headscarf, wig) or the video background and lighting were altered. The start-up Retorio acknowledged that the AI considers external image, similar to a human interviewer. Experts warned that such software could perpetuate stereotypes and unfairly affect job candidates.
