Concerns have now been raised with Apple by multiple news organisations over the AI summary feature, which is available on iPhones with Apple Intelligence.
The feature, the National Union of Journalists told Sky News, as the “inaccurate news summaries shared to audiences through Apple Intelligence demonstrate the feature is not fit for purpose”.
The feature “must be revoked”, the National Union of Journalists told Sky News, as the “inaccurate news summaries shared to audiences through Apple Intelligence demonstrate the feature is not fit for purpose”.
The feature “must be revoked”, the National Union of Journalists told Sky News, as the “inaccurate news summaries shared to audiences through Apple Intelligence demonstrate the feature is not fit for purpose”.
The feature uses artificial intelligence to summarise notifications “so you can scan them for key details”, according to Apple.
However, the AI has been incorrectly summarising news stories from newsrooms like the BBC, Sky News and the Telegraph and creating misleading and inaccurate headlines.
The feature “must be revoked”, the National Union of Journalists told Sky News, as the “inaccurate news summaries shared to audiences through Apple Intelligence demonstrate the feature is not fit for purpose”.
In one example created for a Sky News story, the feature incorrectly suggested safeguarding minister Jess Phillips called for a new inquiry into Britain’s grooming gangs.
The original headline was: “Jess Phillips tells Sky News there could be a new national inquiry into grooming gangs if victims ask for one”.
The wider story about grooming gangs was sensitive and controversial, with Elon Musk attacking the MP and Sir Keir Starmer for not holding a national inquiry.
In another example of a sensitive story being inaccurately summarised, Apple’s AI said mass rape victim Gisele Pelicot “defended her convictions”.
Gisele Pelicot was the victim of rape by more than 50 men, after her ex-husband drugged, raped and advertised her on the internet. Her rapists have been sentenced to more than 400 years in prison.
