Apple promises an update “in the coming weeks” of its artificial intelligence tool “Apple Intelligence” following a complaint filed by the British media BBC. Some iPhone users have received notifications containing incorrect information wrongly attributed to the BBC.
On the latest iPhones, a tool using artificial intelligence to summarize BBC news notably provided information that Luigi Mangione, the man accused of having killed the boss of UnitedHealthcare, had committed suicide. However, this is not the case.
Another notification, published last week and citing the BBC as a source, reported that Luke Littler had become the world darts champion before the competition had yet started. The feature also relayed as false information the fact that Spanish tennis player Rafael Nadal had revealed his homosexuality, which is not true.
The Apple Intelligence tool is supposed to provide its users with a quick overview of the day’s information. In its complaint, the BBC, however, points out the fact that these news summaries do not faithfully relay the information initially reported by the BBC, or even outright distort it. “Apple must address these issues urgently because the accuracy of our information is essential to maintaining trust,” demanded the BBC.
