BBC Finds AI Chatbots Fail to Accurately Summarize News
BBC research reveals that four leading AI chatbots—ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini, and Perplexity AI—produced inaccurate and distorted summaries of BBC news articles when questioned. These findings highlight significant concerns about the potential for AI-generated misinformation. BBC News CEO Deborah Turness warns of the dangers of this technology, questioning the potential for real-world harm caused by AI-distorted information. While OpenAI offered a statement emphasizing their commitment to responsible content attribution, other companies have yet to respond.
