Apple pauses AI news summaries due to accuracy concerns

Investing.com — Apple (NASDAQ:) has temporarily halted using artificial intelligence news summaries for its news apps. This move comes in the wake of recent issues with the accuracy of its AI technology.

The decision to suspend AI summaries was made several weeks after the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) pointed out that Apple’s AI system had distorted its news notifications, resulting in the presentation of incorrect information.

In the previous month, the BBC had identified significant mistakes made by the AI summaries. One such error included a false alert about an alleged shooter, supposedly the CEO of UnitedHealthcare, taking his own life. However, this was not the case, as Luigi Mangione, the individual in question, had not done so.

The suspension of AI news summaries only impacts individuals who are using Apple’s beta software. Users operating the company’s main operating systems are not affected by this pause.
