Luigi Mangione fake news could have been easily avoided by Apple Intelligence

Apple Intelligence does it successfully Create a piece of Luigi Mangione fake news Last week, thanks to the notification summary feature. Somehow, it concluded that the suspect who killed UnitedHealth CEO Brian Thompson shot himself.

The error itself is not surprising: AI systems make this mistake all the time. What’s even more surprising is that Apple allowed this to happen when it could have been easily avoided…

Artificial intelligence mistakes can be funny, or dangerous

Today’s generative AI systems can often deliver impressive results, but they’re not actually smart — which makes them make some pretty egregious mistakes.

Many of them are interesting. McDonald’s Drive-Thru Artificial Intelligence System Keep adding chicken pieces Until the total number of customer orders reaches 260; Google reports the geologist’s recommendations to Eat a stone every dayand suggest We use glue Helps cheese stick to pizza; and Microsoft recommends food banks as a tourist destination.

But there are some examples of dangerous AI advice. There is a book written by artificial intelligence on mushroom collecting, which recommends tasting mushrooms as a method Identify poisonous;Map application Leading people into wildfires; and Boeing Systems Caused two passenger planes to crashresulting in 346 deaths.

Or they might just be embarrassing

Apple Intelligence Summary bbc news The story is neither funny nor dangerous, but it is embarrassing.

Apple Intelligence, which launched in the UK earlier this week, uses artificial intelligence (AI) externally to aggregate and group notifications. This week, an AI-powered summary mistakenly led BBC News to publish an article claiming that Luigi, the man arrested in connection with the murder of New York Medicare CEO Brian Thompson, Luigi Mangione shot himself. He didn’t.

This isn’t the first time we’ve seen this happen – a summary of previous Apple intelligence notifications claimed Israel’s prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu arrestedthe actual situation at that time was that the International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant for him.

Mangione Fake news can be avoided

It’s impossible to avoid all these mistakes; the very essence of building an AI system is making them.

This is especially true for Apple’s notification summary of news headlines. By its very nature, the title is a very one-sided summary of the story. Apple Intelligence is trying to further condense a highly condensed version of a news story; a very brief summary of a very brief summary. It’s no surprise that sometimes things go horribly wrong.

While Apple can’t prevent this universally, it can at least prevent it from happening on particularly sensitive stories. It can capture keywords such as kill, killed, shooter, shooting, death, etc.

In this particular case, the mistake was nothing short of embarrassing, but it’s not hard to see how a mistake made on such a sensitive topic could cause many people to become very angry. For example, imagine a summary that appears to blame the victims of a violent crime or disaster.
