The BBC filed a complaint with Apple but has not confirmed if the tech giant responded. Apple AI made its debut in the U.K. last week.
Reporters Without Borders said it’s “very concerned about the risks posed to media outlets by new AI tools.” The group said this incident highlights that AI is “too immature to produce reliable information for the public.”
Apple has not commented on the incident as of yet.
