“The Deloitte report contained false citations, pulled from made-up academic papers to draw conclusions for cost-effectiveness analyses, and cited real researchers on papers they hadn’t worked on, the Independent found. It included fictional papers coauthored by researchers who said they had never worked together. “Deloitte Canada firmly stands behind the recommendations put forward in our report,” a Deloitte Canada spokesperson told Fortune in a statement. “We are revising the report to make a small number of citation corrections, which do not impact the report findings. AI was not used to write the report; it was selectively used to support a small number of research citations. […] The Canadian government spent just under $1.6 million on the report””

«Manifestement, ce détail a échappé à tout le monde», a réagi Sarah Reusser, porte-parole de la Migros. «Un renne à cinq pattes est ainsi plus rapide et peut livrer les produits Migros encore plus efficacement à notre clientèle.» La communicante n’a en revanche pas voulu prendre position sur une éventuelle utilisation de l’intelligence artificielle pour générer l’image ratée du renne du Père Noël.
Quant à savoir ce qu’il adviendra des 10’776 exemplaires de la boîte, la Migros a dit étudier «différentes options pour les revaloriser, que ce soit via une promotion ou comme article phare dans un outlet, voire pour une action solidaire». Et de conclure: «Qui sait, peut-être qu’elle va devenir un objet collector, avec ce défaut de fabrication qui la rend unique.»

“A pop-up would appear, asking about a patient’s level of pain. Then, a drop-down menu would list treatments ranging from a referral to a pain specialist to a prescription for an opioid painkiller. Click a button, and the program would create a treatment plan. From 2016 to spring 2019, the alert went off about 230 million times. The tool existed thanks to a secret deal. Its maker, a software company called Practice Fusion, was paid by a major opioid manufacturer to design it in an effort to boost prescriptions for addictive pain pills — even though overdose deaths had almost tripled during the previous 15 years, creating a public-health disaster. The software was used by tens of thousands of doctors’ offices.”
