One of Apple’s AI features is attacked by the BBC after it disseminates fake news

Thanks to Apple Apple informationthis story is one of several pieces of news summarized by artificial intelligence and grouped together before appearing on the iPhone display. The problem is that when the AI ​​summarizes the story about Luigi Mangione, it incorrectly says that Mangione shot himself, which is not true. A BBC spokesman said it had contacted Apple “to raise this concern and resolve the issue.”

Interestingly, while the AI-modified notification that Mangioni shot himself was completely incorrect, other news reports summarized by the AI, including news about the overthrow of Bashar al-Assad’s regime in Syria, And the latest news about the police raid on South Korean President Yoon Seok’s office, Yeol, is absolutely correct.

This issue also occurs in abstract notification articles published in new york times last month. Three newspaper articles are combined into one notice. Part of the notice, summarized by Amnesty International, said “Netanyahu was arrested,” referring to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. What happened here was that the AI ​​incorrectly summarized news reports that the ICC had issued an arrest warrant for the prime minister; he had not been arrested.

Similar to the notice containing the false report about Magionne, the notice falsely reporting Netanyahu’s arrest (which never happened) also contained two other news events that did occur. These include Jussie Smollet’s conviction being overturned and Matt Gaetz no longer running as attorney general candidate.
