Irish Times editor apologises for 'breach of trust'

The Irish Times has removed an article on fake tan from its website.

The Irish Times' editor has apologised to its readers for a 'breach of trust' after an opinion article on its website was found to be a hoax created, at least partially, using artificial intelligence.

The article, entitled 'Irish women's obsession with fake tan is problematic', and purporting to be written by 'Adriana Acosta Cortez, a 29 year old healthcare administrator', was published on Friday.
