Deloitte found itself under fire this week after a $290,000 government-commissioned report was found to contain AI-generated sections that slipped through internal reviews.

The 170-page study; commissioned to advise on labor market reforms, reportedly included paragraphs with factual errors, phantom citations, and inconsistencies that matched outputs from generative AI models.

Australia’s Department of Employment and Workplace Relations hired Deloitte for the report. Officials soon noticed repeated phrases, incorrect figures, and fictional academic references. The firm later admitted that “AI tools were used in parts of the drafting process without adequate verification.” The fallout prompted Deloitte to refund part of the fee, retrain staff, and commit to clearer disclosure rules for AI use in deliverables.

Consultancies routinely use AI for research and drafting, but this case shows how easily unverified text can damage trust. The story went global as corporate clients began asking vendors to certify when and how AI is applied.

Lawyers warn that failing to disclose AI use in regulated work; such as government or financial reporting, could breach compliance or misrepresentation clauses.

The incident may become a turning point for “AI audit trails.” Analysts expect future contracts to include disclosure checklists, human verification clauses, and provenance logs. For companies using ChatGPT-style tools, the lesson is simple: AI can speed up the draft, but humans must own the facts.

Disconnected software creates what we call the execution tax: wasted time, duplicate work, and stalled momentum. From onboarding checklists to reconciling expenses, SaaD slows every team down.

Rippling is the cure. With one system of record, you can update employee data once,and it syncs everywhere: payroll, benefits, expenses, devices, and apps.

Leaders gain real-time visibility. Teams regain lost hours. Employees get the seamless experience they deserve .

That’s why companies like Barry’s and Forterra turned to Rippling – to replace sprawl with speed and clarity.

It’s time to stop paying for inefficiency.

Don’t get SaaD. Get Rippling.

Stop SaaD in its tracks

Google just launched Gemini Enterprise, its largest push yet to bring generative AI directly into everyday work.

The new plans for Google Workspace and Cloud customers bundle Gemini’s advanced reasoning and search capabilities into Gmail, Docs, Sheets, and Meet—along with secure enterprise controls for sensitive data. Executives call it a “trusted AI colleague,” not just a tool.

Gemini Enterprise replaces Duet AI and adds a smarter suite of assistants: real-time meeting summaries in Google Meet, contextual writing help across Gmail and Docs, and data analysis inside Sheets that can interpret charts or forecast trends through natural-language prompts.

Employees can ask, “Summarize this week’s client feedback and flag recurring issues,” and Gemini will deliver a report in seconds—sourcing from Docs, email threads, and Drive folders they already have access to.

The plan also introduces Enterprise-grade privacy, guaranteeing prompts and generated text stay within an organization’s domain, never training public models. Admins can audit usage, manage access, and set topic restrictions—features aimed squarely at Fortune 500 compliance teams.

With this release, Google joins Microsoft Copilot 365 in trying to redefine what “office software” means. The difference is that Gemini is woven into the existing Google ecosystem (millions already use the tools daily) making adoption friction-free. 

For startups and small teams, the $30-per-user entry tier mirrors Microsoft’s pricing but adds broader integration with Google Cloud’s APIs and Vertex AI custom models. Analysts see this as a bid to convert Workspace’s huge install base into paying AI subscribers before rivals catch up.

Google says future versions will expand to Gemini for Teams and Gemini for Developers, linking chat, scheduling, and project dashboards in one conversational interface.

The company also previewed Gemini Live, a voice-first mode that lets users talk naturally through phones or meeting displays. As Sundar Pichai put it, the goal is “AI that works for everyone, everywhere, safely.” If Gemini Enterprise delivers on that promise, your next coworker might not need a desk at all.

🥷 Hackers use AI chatbots to take advantage of unsecure backdoors

Instead of training AI to imitate you, you’ll use it to reveal how you think — what you overlook, what you repeat, and where your focus drifts.

Open a new chat and title it “My Reflection Journal.”

Prompt it with:

“Each evening, I’ll paste one situation or decision from my day. Ask three questions that help me see it from another angle; no advice, just reflection.”

You’ve just created a self-awareness coach.

In your next message, paste a short self-intro:

This helps the AI ask better follow-ups as it learns your rhythm.

Each night, share one real moment: a choice, conflict, or win.
Example:

“I pushed a deadline again and felt oddly relieved.”
The AI will respond with perspective-shifting prompts like:

By Day 5, ask:

“Summarize what I seem to care about most this week, what frustrates me, and what patterns you notice in my responses.”

Save that summary in a doc called AI Mirror Notes.

That’s it for this week! Did Deloitte get caught over-charging for ChatGPT, or are they doing what we’re all doing? And, are you excited about the new Gemini Enterprise tools? Hit reply and let us know your thoughts.
