Apple suspends controversial AI news notifications, Expert says don’t count on AI finance advisors to solve money issues

Apple has put a pause on an AI feature which summarises news articles into bullet points which appear on the notification screen of iPhone users.

This follows a complaint by the BBC in December, saying the tech giant's feature generated inaccurate and misleading headlines.

There were also reports of fake headlines created for other news outlets like the New York Times and the Washington Post.

In one case, it wrongly reported that Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu had been arrested.

So what went wrong for this AI tool that was intended to help users save time? Tune in to hear what AI consultant Raj Shroff has to say in this episode of Tech Tuesday.

You'll also hear Raj's thoughts on some personal finance apps that were said to be making the situation worse for users already struggling with money.
