A information summary from Apple has falsely claimed darts player Luke Littler won the PDC globe Championship – before he has even played in the final.

On Friday morning, an iPhone notification based on a information narrative of Littler winning the tournament semi-final falsely made it appear that the BBC was reporting he had won the whole occurrence.

The BBC previously complained to Apple about the Apple Intelligence characteristic, which uses artificial intelligence (AI) to summarise and throng together notifications, when it generated a untrue headline about a high-profile alleged murder in the US.

Apple has been contacted for comment.

Apple Intelligence, which launched in the UK in December 2024, is intended to provide users a straightforward round-up of all the alerts they have missed.

“It is essential that Apple fixes this issue urgently – as this has happened multiple times,” said a BBC spokesperson.

“As the most trusted information media organisation in the globe, it is crucial that audiences can depend any information or journalism published in our name and that includes notifications.”

Littler, 17, has generated huge thrill in the darts globe on his way to the final, which takes place on Friday evening.

Even though the notification appears to be directly from the BBC, it is in truth Apple Intelligence summarising three much longer headlines.

The other two stories in the summary, about the South Korean president and flu cases, were accurately summarised.

Apple run into some trouble since the characteristic launched, with inaccurate summaries of information stories and other notifications.

It prompted the journalist body Reporters Without Borders (also known as RSF) to call on Apple to axe its AI-powered summaries of information stories.

“The automated production of untrue information attributed to a media outlet is a blow to the outlet’s credibility,” said Vincent Berthier, the head of RSF’s technology and journalism desk, in December.

He added it was “a danger to the community’s correct to reliable information on current affairs.”

The latest notification glitch on Littler’s semi-final triumph was received by a BBC information employee.

It is likely that most people’s AI-generated summaries would be distinctive as different combinations of notifications are summarised depending on the device being used and the alerts coming through.

Apple Intelligence is only available on sure iPhones – those using the iOS 18.1 structure version or later on recent devices (all iPhone 16 phones, the 15 Pro, and the 15 Pro Max). It is also available on some iPads and Macs.

The grouped notifications are marked with a specific icon, and users can update any concerns they have on a notification summary.

Apple has not outlined how many reports it has received.
