Incident 15541 Report
NewsBreak Reportedly Published AI-Assisted Articles Containing Purportedly False Local and Community-Service Information

2023-12-24

NewsBreak reportedly published AI-assisted local articles containing purportedly false information, including a fabricated Christmas shooting in Bridgeton, New Jersey, incorrect Food to Power distribution times that caused people to be turned away, and nonexistent Harvest912 foot-care clinics. NewsBreak said the errors originated in source material and removed the articles after complaints. The specific AI models and the extent to which they contributed to the inaccuracies were not identified.
