A major journalism body has urged Apple to scrap its new generative AI feature after it created a misleading headline about a high-profile killing in the United States.
The BBC made a complaint to the US tech giant after Apple Intelligence, which uses artificial intelligence (AI) to summarise and group together notifications, falsely created a headline about murder suspect Luigi Mangione.
The AI-powered summary falsely made it appear that BBC News had published an article claiming Mangione, the man accused of the murder of healthcare insurance CEO Brian Thompson in New York, had shot himself. He has not.
Now, the group Reporters Without Borders has called on Apple to remove the technology. Apple has made no comment.

Is that what we’re calling “complete and utter bullshit” now?

It’s been that way since at least the first Trump administration. The sanewashing continues.
