Two officials in South Africa&rsquo;s Home Affairs department are now facing the repercussions of relying on an AI-generated policy paper that confidently fabricated academic citations, authors, and even non-existent links. This incident isn&rsquo;t just an embarrassment; it&rsquo;s a siren call for a fundamental re-evaluation of how we integrate these powerful, yet inherently flawed, tools into public service.</p>
