Apple AI alert falsely claimed Luke Littler had already won darts final


The AI-generated notification said the teenager had won the tournament before the final had been played.

A news summary from Apple has falsely claimed darts player Luke Littler won the PDC World Championship - before he has even played in the final. On Friday morning, an iPhone notification based on a news story of Littler winning the semi-final of the PDC World Championship falsely made it appear that the BBC was reporting he had won the whole event. It prompted the journalist body Reporters Without Borders (also known as RSF) to call on Apple to axe its AI-powered summaries of news stories.
