Excellent @cameronwilson.bsky.social article here on the ABC rolling out text plagiarism systems to staff and trying to encourage use. Grim beyond belief that the executive's own statement is clearly written by software, as well. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-07...
No question whether ABC staff will use AI: executives
In an all-staff email sent on June 25, managing director Hugh Marks and chief people officer Deena Amorelli outlined the ABC's new approach to AI.

"The question facing every public broadcaster is not whether they will use AI, but how they will shape the use of AI on their terms and in line with their values," Mr Marks and Ms Amorelli wrote.

The email revealed that the ABC had selected US company Anthropic's Claude AI as its standard enterprise-wide AI tool, in addition to existing tools from Microsoft and an in-house chatbot.

The rollout would begin with a July pilot involving 100 "AI Champions" from across the organisation before being expanded in stages, they said.

Nice sentiment but please don't plant willow or running bamboo anywhere in Australia. There is an Australian alternative to willow that is not a destructive, exotic environmental weed. Plant tuckeroo trees around the data centres. They will do the destruction and support some local fauna.

Because of the way generative AI works, there is no real way to prevent false information being presented as truth – or to correct it permanently.
