Summary:
- The Alaska Department of Education and Early Development (DEED) published a policy document that included false AI-generated academic citations, according to an investigation by the Alaska Beacon.
- The document, which outlined the state's cell phone policy in schools, included citations that did not correspond to any real academic studies or sources.
- The use of AI-generated citations in an official government document raises concerns about the integrity of the policymaking process and the potential for AI technology to be misused to create the appearance of credibility.
