Apple plans to update its AI-driven notification summarisation feature after generating inaccurate news alerts attributed to sources like the BBC. The feature, designed to condense notifications for convenience, produced misleading summaries, including false claims about high-profile individuals. Errors included a notification falsely reporting that Luigi Mangione, linked to a murder case, had shot himself, and another incorrectly stating that tennis player Rafael Nadal had come out as gay.
The BBC raised concerns over these inaccuracies, citing potential damage to trust in news. Apple responded by announcing an upcoming software update to clearly label AI-generated summaries.
