Apple AI feature 'must be revoked' over notifications misleading users, say journalists

A new iPhone feature uses AI to summarise notifications but it has been sending inaccurate and misleading summaries on a range of sensitive news stories. Now, multiple newsrooms have raised concerns with the tech giant over the feature.

Apple AI is sending misleading push notifications about sensitive stories like Gisele Pelicot's mass rape trial, Britain's grooming gang scandal and a prison officer filmed having sex with an inmate.

Concerns have now been raised with Apple by multiple news organisations over the AI summary feature, which is available on iPhones with Apple Intelligence.

The feature "must be revoked", the National Union of Journalists told Sky News, as the "inaccurate news summaries shared to audiences through Apple Intelligence demonstrate the feature is not fit for purpose".

The feature uses artificial intelligence to summarise notifications "so you can scan them for key details", according to Apple.
