A popular US news app, NewsBreak, has been accused of using AI to create false news stories, including a bogus report of a shooting in New Jersey and incorrect information about a food bank in Colorado. Despite presenting itself as a legitimate news source, the app has been publishing erroneous stories since 2021, often rewriting press releases and local news with AI tools. NewsBreak has also faced accusations of copyright infringement and has settled cases with at least two publications. Concerns have been raised about the app's Chinese connections, but the CEO claims compliance with US data and privacy laws.
