On Dec. 13, an article by Graham Fraser for BBC News, revealed the news organization had complained to Apple after reports surfaced on social media platforms about Apple’s AI feature, which the Californian tech firm calls Apple Intelligence, had mistakenly made it seem that BBC News had published an article saying that Luigi Mangione, the 26-year old man arrested for the alleged murder on Dec. 4 of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in New York City, had shot himself (which is not true).
Apparently, what happened is that Apple Intelligence, which is capable of summarizing and grouping notifications, incorrectly summarized a BBC News headline for an article about Mangione, turning “Who is Luigi Mangione, CEO shooting suspect?” to “Luigi Mangione shoots himself.”

A BBC spokesperson says the corporation has contacted Apple “to raise this concern and fix the problem.”
