WIRED reports that NRED Intelligent Mining listed former White House press secretary Katie Zacharia as an adviser in a June announcement. Zacharia says the listing was fake; a representative says the announcement was issued without her consent, and NRED’s incoming CEO says discussions about a role never came to fruition.
Why it mattersThe company’s AI angle is more than a name-check: WIRED says NRED has pivoted towards MetalCore, an AI-assisted mineral exploration platform. It offers little technical detail, but the disputed listing and the company’s stated direction make this a curious collision of politics and AI mining.
Discuss: When a company publicly lists someone who says they never joined, should responsibility sit with the company alone, or with the people who let the announcement stand?
