Overview

• DEWR said Deloitte will return the final payment under its contract, with the refund to be made public after the transaction is completed.
• The July 4 review was re-uploaded Friday with corrections to references and footnotes and an added disclosure of Azure OpenAI GPT-4o hosted on DEWR’s Azure tenancy.
• Deloitte stated the updates do not change the report’s substance, findings or recommendations and did not say AI caused the original errors.
• Errors were first identified by the Australian Financial Review and academic Dr Christopher Rudge, who cited nonexistent citations and a flawed summary of the Amato robodebt case that Deloitte has now amended.
• Labor senator Deborah O’Neill criticized the firm’s reliance on AI and urged procurers to verify who performs contracted work.
