Apple made headlines with the launch of its Apple Intelligence tool, which quickly gained global attention. However, the tech giant now faces mounting criticism after reports emerged that the AI feature has been generating false news notifications, raising concerns about misinformation.
The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) was the first to report the problem, directly complaining to Apple that the AI summaries were misrepresenting their journalism. Apple responded belatedly, clarifying that its staff are working to ensure users understand these summaries are AI-generated and not official news reports.
Alan Rusbridger, former editor of The Guardian, criticized Apple, suggesting the company should withdraw the product if it is not yet ready. He warned that Apple’s technology poses a significant risk of spreading misinformation globally, potentially causing unnecessary panic among readers.
Rusbridger further emphasized that public trust in journalism is already fragile. He expressed concern that major American tech companies like Apple should not use the media industry as a testing ground for experimental features.
