New Study Finds Major AI Assistants Frequently Misrepresent News Content

/in /tarafından

A new international study from the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and the BBC has found that leading AI assistants—including ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini, and Perplexity—misrepresented or mishandled news content in nearly half their responses. The research, published Wednesday, examined 3,000 AI-generated answers to news-related questions in 14 languages, assessing factual accuracy, sourcing, and the ability to distinguish fact from opinion.

The findings were troubling: 45% of AI responses contained at least one significant factual or interpretive issue, while 81% showed some form of problem, ranging from poor attribution to incorrect information. Roughly one-third of all replies featured serious sourcing errors, such as missing or misleading references. Notably, 72% of Google’s Gemini outputs contained significant sourcing flaws—far higher than the under 25% rate for other assistants.

Accuracy issues appeared in 20% of total responses, including outdated or false claims. Examples cited include Gemini incorrectly describing legal changes on disposable vapes, and ChatGPT erroneously identifying Pope Francis as still alive months after his reported death.

The study, involving 22 public-service media organizations across 18 countries, warned that the growing use of AI assistants for news—especially among younger audiences—could threaten public trust. According to the Reuters Institute’s 2025 Digital News Report, 15% of people under 25 now rely on AI assistants for news updates.

“When people don’t know what to trust, they end up trusting nothing at all, and that can deter democratic participation,” said Jean Philip De Tender, EBU’s media director. The report calls for greater accountability and transparency from AI developers to ensure reliable and responsibly sourced information.

Gemini launches Australian arm to expand crypto exchange services

/in /tarafından

Gemini, the New York-based cryptocurrency exchange founded by Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss, has launched its Australian division, marking a major expansion into one of the world’s fastest-growing crypto markets.

The new entity, Gemini Intergalactic Australia, will operate locally after securing registration with the Australian Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre (AUSTRAC) as a digital currency provider. Previously, Australian users accessed Gemini’s global platform remotely.

“We think there’s enough market opportunity for us to build a local platform,” said Saad Ahmed, Gemini’s head of APAC, during the TOKEN2049 crypto conference in Singapore. He noted that growing institutional demand and a need for localized services make Australia a key market for Gemini’s Asia-Pacific strategy.

Crypto adoption in Australia has climbed to 31% this year, up from 28% in 2023, according to the Independent Reserve Cryptocurrency Index. The launch comes as global exchanges compete for regulatory footholds and investor trust amid renewed optimism in the digital asset sector.

Gemini, which went public on Nasdaq last month after raising $425 million, aims to provide a secure and compliant exchange tailored for Australian users.
