AI Chatbots Still Fail at Basic News Accuracy, BBC Study Reveals

A comprehensive international study led by the BBC has found that AI chatbots from Google, OpenAI and Microsoft still produce inaccurate news information nearly half the time. The findings raise serious concerns as tech companies increasingly promote these tools as primary information sources despite persistent reliability issues.

In what could become a significant credibility crisis for the AI industry, new research indicates that chatbots from major technology companies still can’t be trusted with basic news facts. According to a comprehensive international study coordinated by the BBC, AI assistants get news-related information wrong approximately 45% of the time.
