A new report from the Washington Post claims Apple is preparing to disable its AI summaries generated for news and entertainment apps after the feature produced factually incorrect information several times. For those wondering what this feature does, Apple Intelligence users receive a notification summarizing the most popular news stories. The idea behind the feature is to provide users with a quick summary of the top headlines, which they can then engage with for further reading.
However, the blunders by the app have become more frequent, with the BBC in December filing a lawsuit against Apple for the feature, stating the BBC reported that a man suspected of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson had shot himself. Now, according to the WAPO report, Apple plans on temporarily disabling the feature in the coming iOS 18.3 update.
“It’s wildly irresponsible that Apple doesn’t turn off summaries for news apps until it gets a bit better at this AI thing,” wrote Geoffrey Fowler, Tech Columnist at The Washington Post
