"AIpocolypse A partner at accounting and consultancy giant KPMG in Australia was forced to cough up a AU$10k ($7,084/ £5,195) fine after he used AI to ace an internal training course on... AI. Faced with questions on the use of AI, the unnamed partner uploaded training materials to an AI platform to help generate his response, according to a report in the FT."
"KPMG Australia chief exec Andrew Yates was quoted as saying it was "grappling" with the impact of AI when it comes to internal training and testing. "It's a very hard thing to get on top of given how quickly society has embraced it," he said. A KPMG spokesperson confirmed the FT story and told The Register the "two dozen" figure was confined to Australia. No similar reports have emerged outside the antipodes, apparently."
A partner at KPMG Australia was fined AU$10,000 after uploading internal training materials to an AI platform to generate answers for an AI training course.
