Reporters Without Borders (RSF) is calling on Apple to remove its new AI-powered news summarization feature after it generated a false headline from a BBC article. The incident involved a push notification that incorrectly stated the suspect in the murder of a UnitedHealthcare CEO had shot himself. RSF expressed concerns about the reliability of AI systems in producing news and emphasized the potential for harm to media credibility and public trust in information.
The Apple iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max are seen on display at an Apple Store in London on Sept. 20. The press freedom group Reporters Without Borders is urging Apple to remove its newly introduced artificial intelligence feature that summarizes news stories after it produced a false headline from the BBC .
More broadly, the journalist body said it is “very concerned about the risks posed to media outlets by new A.I. tools, noting that the incident emphasizes how A.I. remains “too immature to produce reliable information for the public, and should not be allowed on the market for such uses.” Apple’s AI troubles are only the latest as news publishers struggle to navigate seismic changes wrought by the budding technology. Since ChatGPT’s launch just over two years ago, several tech giants have launched their own large-language models, many of which have been accused of training their chatbots using copyrighted content, including news reports.
