    Apple has rolled back an AI tool after it wrongly claimed former professional tennis player Rafael Nadal had come out as gay in an update of summarised news stories.<\/p>\n

    \u201cBrazilian tennis player, Rafael Nadal, comes out as gay\u201d read the push notification published earlier this month, and captured and recently reported on by The Telegraph.<\/p>\n

    Nadal, who was born in Manacor on the island of Mallorca, Spain, is married to Mery Perell\u00f3, with whom he is a parent to an infant son, Rafael.<\/p>\n

    According to the newspaper, the alert also told a number of iPhone users that the BBC <\/strong>had reported that Luke Littler was the winner of the PDC World Darts Championship final before it had commenced.<\/p>\n

    These are among a slew of inaccuracies that have reportedly plagued the tech giant since a recent update.<\/p>\n

    \u201cWe are working on improvements\u201d \u2013 Apple spokesperson<\/h2>\n

    Last month, the BBC publicly complained about the AI feature after it cited a non-existent BBC report that Luigi Mangione, who stands accused of killing healthcare boss Brian Thompson, had taken his own life.<\/p>\n

    Apple previously said it would update the feature, but this has now been suspended. Said a spokesman: \u201cWith the latest beta software releases of iOS 18.3, iPadOS 18.3, and macOS Sequoia 15.3, notification summaries for the News & Entertainment category will be temporarily unavailable.<\/p>\n

    \u201cWe are working on improvements and will make them available in a future software update.\u201d<\/p>\n

    A BBC rep meanwhile responded: \u201cWe look forward to working with them constructively on next steps.<\/p>\n

    \u201cOur priority is the accuracy of the news we deliver to audiences, which is essential to building and maintaining trust.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
