Apple Addresses iPhone Dictation Bug Suggesting 'Trump' for 'Racist'

The company attributes the issue to phonetic overlap in its speech recognition models and has rolled out a fix.

Apple's iPhone dictation feature briefly displayed 'Trump' when users said 'racist' before correcting itself, sparking widespread attention on social media.
The company explained the glitch as a result of phonetic overlap in its speech recognition models but acknowledged the need for improvements.
Experts have raised skepticism about Apple's explanation, with some suggesting the possibility of tampering or a prank within the system.
The issue emerged following Apple's announcement of a $500 billion U.S. investment plan and ongoing tensions with President Trump over diversity policies.
Apple confirmed the problem has been addressed with a fix, but the incident has fueled debates about AI reliability and potential biases in tech systems.
