Apple has paused its AI news summaries beta feature until 2025, according to a report from Business Insider. The feature, which was designed to provide concise summaries of news articles using artificial intelligence, was initially launched as a beta in 2022. However, the company has decided to put the project on hold for the next three years. The report cites sources familiar with the matter, who claim that Apple’s AI team has been reassigned to work on other projects. The decision to pause the news summaries beta is reportedly due to concerns over the accuracy and quality of the AI-generated summaries. Apple wants to ensure that the feature meets its high standards before rolling it out to a wider audience. The company is also said to be wary of the potential for AI-generated content to spread misinformation or biased perspectives. While the news summaries beta has been put on hold, Apple is expected to continue investing in AI and machine learning technologies for other applications and services.
