MAJOR NEWS ORGANIZATIONS, for which user trust is vital, are complaining that Apple Intelligence headline summaries are introducing errors.
In December, a summary for a BBC story about Luigi Mangione, accused of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, incorrectly said Mangione had shot himself. A BBC Sport app summary said “Brazilian tennis player Rafael Nadal comes out as gay.” Nadal is Spanish and this did not happen. Summarizing a New York Times story, it wrongly claimed Israel’s prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu had been arrested.
