KPMG has withdrawn a report on artificial intelligence after it was discovered to contain numerous fabricated citations, a practice dubbed 'vibe citations' by critics. The report, which claimed to analyze AI trends, included references that could not be verified, leading to embarrassment for the consulting giant. An internal review prompted the retraction, and KPMG has apologized, stating they are implementing stricter guidelines for future publications.
