The Guardian reports that Australian parliamentary inquiry submissions are being affected by AI-generated misinformation, including invented studies and incorrect attributed to real academics and authors. Its analysis identified at least 39 submissions containing references that appeared not to exist, while more than 100 papers included ChatGPT URL tags in reference links.
The Guardian reports that dozens of submissions across the political spectrum to Australia’s current parliamentary inquiries contained references that appeared to be generated or altered by large language models. The reported errors included invented studies, nonexistent articles, incorrect page details, and real researchers being associated with work they had not produced. The submissions covered policy areas including family violence, suicide, housing inequity and climate misinformation.
The report describes a submission to a family-violence and suicide inquiry that attributed a nonexistent reference and incorrect research findings to Divna Haslam, a University of Queensland associate professor and clinical psychologist. Haslam told the Guardian that the citation looked sufficiently plausible to mislead someone conducting only a cursory review. The submitting organization, Drilldown Reports, said it had used AI in its research process and later identified the errors, but missed the deadline for correcting the original submission.
The Guardian says it built a custom program that extracted references from inquiry documents and searched them against Crossref and Google Scholar. It also checked digital object identifiers where available and manually reviewed documents in which at least 20% of references could not be matched. The resulting figure was at least 39 submissions with apparently hallucinated references. The Guardian characterized that number as conservative because the method could detect only errors in documents containing references, not unsupported text produced without .
The investigation also found more than 100 papers containing ChatGPT URL tags in reference links. The Guardian cautions that such tags do not prove a person used ChatGPT directly, because material may have been copied from a third-party source. It likewise says mismatched can indicate AI use but do not establish it in every case. The report therefore presents its findings as evidence of apparent AI-generated or AI-assisted errors, not as a definitive measurement of all AI use in parliamentary submissions.

Parliamentary inquiries are intended to give lawmakers evidence from experts, organizations and members of the public. If fabricated enter that process and are treated as credible, decisions could be based on nonexistent research and public confidence in democratic institutions could be weakened.

Why can ethical evaluation not be reduced to one model score?

The immediate questions are whether parliamentary committees will introduce stronger verification or disclosure rules, how submitters correct material already filed, and whether government agencies have enough resources to check references. The Guardian also sought responses from OpenAI and Google about their roles in reinforcing inaccurate references through AI systems and search summaries.
