Apple’s AI Oops: False Suicide Alert Sparks BBC Backlash

In a tech blooper of December 2024, Apple Intelligence erroneously reported that Luigi Mangione, implicated in the murder of CEO Brian Thompson, had taken his own life.

Experts advocate for more human oversight to curb AI's flair for dramatic misinformation.
