Apple has temporarily suspended its AI-generated news summary feature after receiving criticism for inaccuracies and misleading information in notifications from major news outlets like Sky News, BBC, and The New York Times. The National Union of Journalists and Reporters Without Borders have raised concerns about the feature's reliability, calling it a threat to public access to accurate information. Examples of errors include incorrect reports about public figures and events, highlighting the growing issue of misinformation on social media, often exacerbated by AI. Apple has paused the feature in its latest iOS update, displaying a "temporarily unavailable" message to users, with plans to improve and reinstate the service. The company emphasizes that the original content remains accessible and is working on clarifying when summaries are AI-generated.
