Ippen Media retracted an AI article that nearly verbatim translated a Guardian report

Ippen Media outlets Frankfurter Rundschau and Merkur published an AI-generated article about ICE operations in Minneapolis that proved to be a near-verbatim German translation of a Guardian report published on January 17, 2026, with additional passages from an L.A. Times column. After the media watchdog Übermedien inquired about the similarities on January 23, 2026, the article was taken offline, the author apologized, and the experimental AI assistant was discontinued. No AI transparency label had been attached to the article, violating Ippen's own editorial principles for AI-assisted content.
