Press freedom advocates are criticizing Apple's new AI feature, Apple Intelligence, for generating inaccurate news summaries. Specifically, the system incorrectly reported the suspected shooter in the UnitedHealthcare CEO incident, Luigi Mangione, had killed himself. This incident, along with previous instances of inaccurate reporting, has raised concerns about the reliability of AI for producing information for the public. RSF is calling on Apple to remove the feature from its operating systems.
Press freedom advocates are urging Apple to ditch an"immature" generative AI system that incorrectly summarized a BBC news notification that incorrectly related that suspected UnitedHealthcare CEO shooter Luigi Mangione had killed himself.this week that Apple 's AI kerfuffle, which generated a false summary as"Luigi Mangione shoots himself," is further evidence that artificial intelligence cannot reliably produce information for the public.
"This accident highlights the inability of AI systems to systematically publish quality information, even when it is based on journalistic sources," RSF said."The probabilistic way in which AI systems operate automatically disqualifies them as a reliable technology for news media that can be used in solutions aimed at the general public."
Because it isn't reliably accurate, RSF said AI shouldn't be allowed to be used for such purposes, and asked Apple to pull the feature from its operating systems. "Facts can't be decided by a roll of the dice," said Vincent Berthier, head of RSF's tech and journalism desk."RSF calls on Apple to act responsibly by removing this feature.
"The automated production of false information attributed to a media outlet is a blow to the outlet's credibility and a danger to the public's right to reliable information on current affairs," Berthier added.According to the BBC, this doesn't even appear to be the first time Apple's AI summaries have falsely reported news.
