Apple suspends news AI notification summary function due to inaccurate generated content

Author: LoRA Time: 17 Jan 2025 271

Apple has recently announced that it will suspend the notification summary function of all news and entertainment applications in the latest developer preview versions of iOS 18.3, iPadOS 18.3 and macOS Sequoia 15.3 due to serious inaccurate information in AI-generated news notification summaries.

The change stems from a previous complaint to the BBC. The BBC pointed out that Apple's AI system seriously distorted the facts in a report, falsely claiming that Luigi Mangione, the suspect in the murder of UnitedHealth CEO Brian Thompson, chose to shoot himself.

To improve user experience and enhance transparency, Apple plans to introduce a number of improvements in future updates: All AI-generated notification summaries will be displayed in italics to help users distinguish them from regular notifications, and users can turn off notifications for specific applications directly on the lock screen. Summary: Add a beta function prompt in the settings to warn users that there may be errors in this function.

These improvements are in line with Apple's previous commitment to "further clarify" AI-generated content. While there are rumors that Apple will add new tags or badges to identify AI-generated content, these features have not yet appeared in the current preview version.

The public beta version of iOS 18.3 is expected to be launched next week, but the specific release time of the official version has not yet been determined. Until then, notification summaries for News and Entertainment apps will remain disabled until improvements are made.
