The exact change

Before

Fabricated quotes attributed to Andrew Ng ("we hire" framing) and Werner Vogels ("I hire for" framing) -- neither actually personally screens candidates. Unverifiable named-companies claim (Capital One, Netflix, Airbnb, Salesforce) and a Capital One ML-evaluation-framework claim. Article never mentioned that MLS-C01 is being retired.

After

De-attributed the Andrew Ng and Werner Vogels quotes to plain prose. Generalized the named-companies claim to industry categories (fraud detection, recommendation systems, search ranking, enterprise AI) without naming unverifiable specific companies. Generalized the Capital One ML-evaluation-framework claim to a general statement about real-world model evaluation frameworks. Added a prominent update note at the top of the article stating that AWS retired MLS-C01 with the last exam date March 31, 2026, and pointing readers to the successor credentials (MLA-C01, AI Practitioner, Generative AI Developer - Professional). Note: a separate, not-yet-fixed fabricated Adrian Cantrill quote was also spotted in this article (same real-person-plus-invented-quote pattern) but was outside the scope of this fix.

Why this is better

Applied fact-check fix: de-attributed 2 fabricated quotes, generalized 2 unverifiable named-company claims, and added a critical update note about the MLS-C01 retirement that materially changes the article advice.
