Professional services and consulting firm Deloitte has said it will issue an unspecified partial refund to the Australian federal government after it was found to have used AI to prepare a report for which it charged $440,000 (US$291,000).
The Department of Employment and Workplace Relations (DEWR) commissioned the report in 2024 to assess its targeted compliance framework and its supporting IT system, which automatically issues penalties to job seekers who fail to meet their mutual obligation requirements.
