«The first major AI scandal in the Norwegian public sector».
Today my newspaper iTromsø revealed that the Tromsø municipality in a report fabricated sources and quotes that do not exist
The head of the administration in Tromsø municipality admits the bureacrats used AI to write the report.
Tune into Newsroom Robots this week to hear us chat with @nikitaroy.bsky.social about AI & innovation.

"iTromsø’s success proves that innovation with AI doesn’t require a massive tech team—just a clear editorial vision and a commitment to making technology work for journalists."
So, ready for 3 days AI workshop in Vienna the last days of January.
Together with @Lars @hendriklehmann.bsky.social and @Virginia we arrange an AI workshop for 20+ journalists from 10 European countries.
We are going to build customized AI research assistants and more +++
Tell you more soon
Proud that iTromsø is one of eight participants in FT Strategies and Google News Initiative's AI Launchpad.
@Lars Adrian Giske, who will head our project, says:
We'll be exploring how to further empower and enable our journalists with knowledge of AI - and of the possibilities the tech brings
We just published the story about «Kem», a trawler connected to a russian oligark, Igor Zubarev.
Its a story about how oligarks can circumvent western sanctions.
«Kem» delivered fish in Tromsø - From my office I can see the fish terminal where it unloaded the fish.
