Apple pulling new AI news summary feature after series of false headlines

IT’S ONLY BEEN AVAILABLE FOR LESS THAN SIX MONTHS – BUT APPLE IS ALREADY DISABLING ONE ITS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE FEATURES.

APPLE SAYS IT’S TEMPORARILY SUSPENDING THE A-I FEATURE THAT SUMMARIZES NEW HEADLINES – AFTER GETTING MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS THE TECHNOLOGY ISSUED A SERIES OF INACCURATE NEWS ALERTS.

APPLE IS ALSO ADDING A WARNING FOR USERS WHO RECEIVE NOTIFICATION SUMMARIES FOR *OTHER* APPS –  THAT WILL SAY THE FEATURE IS STILL IN DEVELOPMENT AND THAT THE INFORMATION COULD CONTAIN ERRORS.

ON THURSDAY – APPLE DEPLOYED A BETA SOFTWARE UPDATE TO DEVELOPERS THAT DISABLED THE A-I FEATURE FOR NEWS AND ENTERTAINMENT HEADLINES.

THE COMPANY PLANS TO LATER ROLL THAT OUT TO *ALL* USERS WHILE IT WORKS TO IMPROVE THE A-I FEATURE.

APPLE SAID ONCE IT’S FIXED – THEY’LL RE-ENABLE THE FEATURE IN A FUTURE UPDATE.

LAST MONTH – THE B-B-C FILED A FORMAL COMPLAINT IN AFTER A NEWS ALERT WAS SUMMARIZED BY APPLE INTELLIGENCE – BUT BRANDED WITH THE B-B-C’S LOGO – INCORRECTLY CLAIMING LUIGI MANGIONE, THE MAN ACCUSED OF KILLING UNITED HEALTHCARE CEO BRIAN THOMPSON, HAD SHOT HIMSELF.

APPLE’S A-I WRONGLY SUMMARIZED B-B-C APP NOTIFICATIONS LAST MONTH TO SAY TENNIS STAR RAFAEL NADAL COME OUT AS GAY… AND NAMED THE P-D-C WORLD DARTS CHAMPIONSHIP WINNER – HOURS BEFORE THE COMPETITION EVEN BEGAN.

AND JUST THIS WEEK – THE AI-POWERED FEATURE ONCE AGAIN INCORRECTLY SUMMARIZED NOTIFICATION – THIS ONE FROM THE WASHINGTON POST – SAYING QUOTE “PETE HEGSETH FIRED; TRUMP TARIFFS IMPACT INFLATION; PAM BONDI AND MARCO RUBIO CONFIRMED.”

NONE OF THOSE WERE TRUE.

FOR ALL YOUR FACTUAL AND UNBIASED HEADLINES – WE’VE GOT YOU COVERED.
