Incidents involved as both Developer and Deployer

Incident 7491 Report
Hoodline Accused of Misleadingly Attributing AI-Generated Articles to Human Authors

2024-05-31

In 2023, the news site Hoodline is reported to have begun publishing AI-generated articles with fake bylines, headshots, and biographies, allegedly misleading readers into believing they were authored by real journalists. This practice diminishes public trust and exemplifies the potential dangers of AI in journalism. Despite a disclaimer, the use of AI was not transparent.
