The Apple Intelligence service, just launched in the United Kingdom, generates grouped notifications of several pieces of information, generated using artificial intelligence, and one of them suggested that the channel’s website BBC News published an article claiming that Luigi Mangione, arrested after the murder in New York of the boss of an American health insurance giant, had committed suicide.
« BBC News is the most trusted news outlet in the world. It is essential to us that our audience can trust every information or article published on our behalf, and this includes notifications “, a BBC spokesperson told AFP. “ We have contacted Apple to express our concern and resolve this issue “, he added.
The group of notifications targeted by the complaint combined three pieces of information attributed to BBC News in these terms: “ Luigi Mangione shoots himself; Syrian mother hopes Assad will pay price; South Korean police raid Yoon Suk Yeol’s office », the former South Korean president. The first information in this notification is false, Luigi Mangione, 26, was arrested in his hometown of Altoona, Pennsylvania, and he is still alive.
