Description
NTB allegedly published a news story about Telenor's annual security report that contained purportedly AI-generated errors, including five reportedly fabricated quotes and a nonexistent "security director." The article was reportedly created with an external AI tool and was withdrawn the same morning. Telenor alerted NTB to the inaccuracies, and NTB apologized, citing improper AI use and initiating internal review of its newsroom practices.
