Apple Will Fix The AI Notification Errors With This Update For iPhone Users: All Details – News18

Last Updated:January 08, 2025, 07:30 IST

Apple launched its AI features with the iOS 18.1 version and the company is facing issues with how the content is offered.

Apple’s AI journey has hit a big hurdle recently and the company is ready to act on the issues that have been reported in the past few weeks. Apple is going to offer an update to make the AI aspect of the notifications clearer so that people don’t blame the company for the future mishaps. In fact, Apple will also put the onus on the users to report if they come across any sudden notification that may sound fabricated.

Apple has taken a long time to enter the AI race against Google, OpenAI and Microsoft. The company offered its slew of AI features with the iOS 18 update in 2024 and the new version has run into trouble. According to reports, the AI-powered notification summary tool for iPhone and Mac users is the culprit and it seems to be making big errors.

Multiple reports suggested that the AI summary tool on Apple devices is making big errors with news details that have been discovered and reported by media houses like BBC. People using the BBC news app have been notified about misleading details such as, popular tennis player Rafael Nadal announces himself as gay in front of the world, which is completely false.

Apple did release the new iOS 18.2.1 update this week to fix some bugs but it is unlikely that the version sorts out the AI notification issue.

Apple isn’t the lone tech giant to face concerns with its AI systems. Google comes to the top of our mind, while Microsoft has issues with the Recall AI feature that ironically had to be paused before making some important tweaks to keep user data secure. Google’s AI search results have been making the news for the wrong reasons, and its image generation tool went to the extent of creating inappropriate content.

AI labels are being utilised to fix the misinformation concerns but technology is leaving big gaps that need to be resolved before such features make their way to the public.
