"Deloitte Canada firmly stands behind the recommendations put forward in our report,"
"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."
"It sounds like if you're coming up with things like this, they may be pretty heavily using AI to generate work,"
A 526-page Deloitte healthcare report commissioned by a Canadian province and costing nearly $1.6 million contained fabricated citations, made-up academic papers, and misattributed authorship. The report advised the provincial Department of Health on virtual care, retention incentives, and COVID-19 workforce impacts amid nurse and doctor shortages. Investigators found fictional papers and citations to a journal article that could not be located in the journal's database. Deloitte affirmed its recommendations, said it would correct a small number of citations without altering findings, and stated AI was not used to write the report but was selectively applied to some citations.
