Apple's AI Backfires: Rewording Scam Messages to Look Legit
2025-01-09
Apple's new AI feature, "Apple Intelligence," aims to summarize and prioritize notifications. However, it's inadvertently rewording scam emails and texts to appear more legitimate, even flagging them as priority. This raises concerns that it could lead to more people falling victim to scams. Screenshots from users show the feature failing to distinguish between genuine and fraudulent messages, even prioritizing obvious scams. Experts warn this could make users more susceptible to scams due to the trust placed in Apple's AI summaries. Apple has yet to respond.
