Apple Disables Troublesome AI Feature After False News Headline Reports

Apple has temporarily disabled a key component of its Apple Intelligence software, which was found to be producing inaccurate summaries of news headlines. The issue came to light after the feature incorrectly reported that former US Representative Pete Hegseth had been fired and Italian TV presenter Luigi Mangione shot himself. The decision to disable the feature is part of a broader effort by the company to improve the accuracy and reliability of its AI-powered tools.
