Reporters Without Borders called on Apple to drop its AI news feature after it generated a false headline. The press freedom group said Apple AI’s feature summarizing news stories created a fake headline for a BBC story.

Last week, a push notification created by Apple AI and sent to users said Luigi Mangione, the man accused of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, had shot himself — which was not true.

The BBC filed a complaint with Apple but has not confirmed if the tech giant responded. Apple AI made its debut in the U.K. last week.

Reporters Without Borders said it’s “very concerned about the risks posed to media outlets by new AI tools.” The group said this incident highlights that AI is “too immature to produce reliable information for the public.”

Apple has not commented on the incident as of yet.
