KPMG puts thousands of dollars fine on partner for using AI to pass AI test; says: It’s a very hard thing to get…

A partner at KPMG Australia has been slapped with a A$10,000 (roughly $7,000) fine after using AI tools to cheat on an internal training course that was, ironically enough, about AI itself. The partner, who hasn’t been named, uploaded training materials into an AI platform to generate answers for the exam, according to a report by the Financial Times. He was also made to retake the test.

But he wasn’t the only one cutting corners. KPMG confirmed that more than two dozen staff at its Australian arm have been caught using AI to game internal exams since July this financial year. The firm said it used its own AI detection tools to flag the cheating.
