Summary
Coinbase sent a false AI-generated "breaking news" alert to users claiming Norway beat Brazil 3-2 in a World Cup match hours before the game even started. The alert mentioned Erling Haaland scoring twice, but Coinbase's own prediction market still showed the game as weather-delayed. CEO Brian Armstrong investigated, and the company confirmed they made updates to prevent future AI-generated inaccuracies.
