AI assistants share wrong news — what's behind the errors?
Many AI tools are failing to report the news accurately. A study found a significant portion of AI queries produce wrong answers.
BBC research revealed that 45% of AI answers contained errors. Google's Gemini was highlighted as a particular offender.
This is concerning for news consumers. These AI assistants are meant to provide reliable information. They are misrepresenting news content frequently.
The EBU's "News Integrity in AI Assistants Toolkit" sheds light on this problem. It confirms many AI replies are simply incorrect. This raises questions about future news consumption.
Further studies are underway to understand these AI inaccuracies. The goal is to ensure AI can be a trusted source of information.
