What was fabricated

An internal AI tool used to summarise expert quotes was run without the source material and invented both quotations and people — including a non-existent DTU technology professor, 'Anne Kjær Nielsen.' Fabricated quotes were attributed to sources who do not exist. Flagged by a reporter at Dagbladet Information.

What happened as a result

A roughly seven-paragraph section was removed and two quotes corrected; Berlingske (Denmark's oldest newspaper, founded 1749) called the incident 'deeply regrettable,' opened an external review, and suspended the responsible journalist pending its outcome. The AI use breached the paper's own policy barring AI for direct article production.

Sources

Every incident is confirmed against at least one reputable source (mainstream news, legal/official, or the organisation itself). Nothing unverifiable is listed. Accuracy is non-negotiable — Ukweli is a truth product.
