GPTZero finds KPMG report on AI riddled with AI-generated hallucinations and false citations
By
Craig Hale
Pulled from the oven just right. Trustworthy, fact-dense, deeply satisfying.
Summary
GPTZero investigators have found that a KPMG report on agentic AI was filled with AI-generated hallucinations, including false citations and misleading case studies. Of the 45 citations in the report, only five accurately pointed to real sources. This is part of a broader trend where major government reports, academic papers, and research are increasingly plagued by AI hallucinations, with GPTZero now on its second report exploring this phenomenon.
