Danish board finds University of Copenhagen professor Hans Bonde guilty of AI-fabricated sources
The professor cited sources the model invented, and the board made it official. First of its kind in Danish academia, unlikely to be the last.
The facts
Hans Bonde, a professor at the University of Copenhagen, used AI to fabricate text and references in a research article. Denmark's Scientific Misconduct Board unanimously found this to be scientific misconduct, marking the first such ruling involving AI-generated content in Danish academia.
