Queensland Department Uses AI Without Disclosure
7.1
Fisheries Queensland used AI-generated images in at least four social media posts late last year but did not disclose their origin, ABC found. Tests using Google's Synth ID detected invisible watermarks in two images and other detector signs; the posts reached a combined audience of more than 143,000 followers. Experts and Queensland guidelines urge clearer labeling and transparency for public-sector AI content.
