The Danish newspaper Politiken has acknowledged publishing an inaccurate fact box about author Harald Voetmann, revealing the risks of relying on artificial intelligence without proper fact-checking. The fact box, intended to provide background information on Voetmann, contained several errors, including listing books he did not write and awards he did not receive.

Politiken attributed the errors to the use of an AI tool to generate the text, highlighting the importance of human oversight in verifying information produced by AI. The incident has raised concerns about the potential for AI to spread misinformation if not carefully monitored.

Meanwhile, concerns are growing among Danish school teachers about students using AI tools like ChatGPT to cheat. A survey in the trade journal Folkeskolen indicates that teachers believe students are increasingly utilizing AI to complete assignments, making it difficult to detect plagiarism. This development presents a significant challenge to educators in maintaining academic integrity.
