A council manager, Roxanne Thornton, is giving evidence at an ICAC inquiry scheduled for Thursday. The proceedings involve an allegation that Thornton told a colleague she used artificial intelligence for an assignment submitted for a company director course. According to reporting across multiple outlets, Thornton is expected to appear as a witness at the inquiry and respond to questions related to the alleged use of AI in the course work. The articles do not provide additional detail in the supplied excerpts about the specific course provider, the assignment content, or any formal finding by investigators. The coverage is consistent in stating the same individual, the same conduct described—use of AI for the assignment—and the same timing for her appearance. The ICAC hearing focuses on matters under investigation by the anti-corruption commission, with Thornton’s testimony positioned as part of the evidence to be considered.
