The BBC has complained to Apple after the tech giant's new iPhone feature generated a false headline about a high-profile murder in the United States.

Apple Intelligence, launched in the UK earlier this week, uses artificial intelligence (AI) to summarise and group together notifications.

This week, the AI-powered summary falsely made it appear BBC News had published an article claiming Luigi Mangione, the man arrested following the murder of healthcare insurance CEO Brian Thompson in New York, had shot himself. He has not.

A spokesperson from the BBC said the corporation had contacted Apple "to raise this concern and fix the problem".

Apple declined to comment.

I think people should stop believing the AI generated overviews from now on wards. Even Google's AI overview is misleading lot of times. Govt's need to start fining these tech companies for every false claim only then it might stop.

Google has defended the answers given by AI Overview, describing them as "isolated examples".

The problem is with the human that considers AI generated content to be accurate. This is not the first time (Grok has been particularly bad) nor will it be the last.

Tech companies have already gotten away by passing on responsibility of user generated content on to the user, so this will be more of the same. Governments simply don't have the capacity or ability to regulate Big Tech.
