Apple to improve AI feature
The company said it was already looking at launching a software update to "further clarify" when news notifications were actually summaries generated by the company’s Apple Intelligence system.
It targets to launch this in a few weeks.
Apple Intelligence features are in beta and we are continuously making improvements with the help of user feedback. A software update in the coming weeks will further clarify when the text being displayed is summarization provided by Apple Intelligence. We encourage users to report a concern if they view an unexpected notification summary, Apple said in a statement.
This development came a month after broadcast giant BBC filed a complaint after Apple mistakenly flashed information with the former's logo, saying that Luigi Mangione, the 26-year-old accused of killing UnitedHealthcare chief executive officer Brian Thompson, had killed himself.
However, Mangione remains alive and is still in prison in Brooklyn.
More inaccurate alerts were issued just this week, according to news reports.
These AI summarisations by Apple do not reflect – and in some cases completely contradict – the original BBC content. It is critical that Apple urgently addresses these issues as the accuracy of our news is essential in maintaining trust, the BBC said.
