Apple has temporarily disabled AI-powered summaries for news apps in its beta software following reports of inaccurate information being displayed. The BBC highlighted instances where Apple's AI system twisted news notifications, presenting false facts. This pause underscores the challenges Apple faces in deploying its AI technology, which has come under scrutiny from users on social media.
Apple has disabled Apple Intelligence summaries for news apps for users of its beta iPhone, iPad and Mac software.
News and entertainment apps, such as The New York Times, began showing a short message inside the iPhone settings app on Thursday noting that AI-powered summaries were "temporarily unavailable." The spokesperson noted that Apple is working on improvements to the software that are coming in a future software update. The company did not say when it will roll out its iOS 18.3 software to users of the main version of the iPhone operating system, but it could take weeks, based on Apple's previous software release patterns.
Apple has used the AI features as the key selling point in its advertisements and marketing for its latest hardware products, but the software has been riddled with issues. With the Thursday update, Apple said it will show any AI-summarized notification in italics to distinguish them from other notifications.
