Apple has agreed to pay $250 million to settle claims that it misled consumers about the capabilities of its artificial intelligence system, according to the terms of the settlement.
The $250 million agreement
The settlement, which resolves allegations brought by consumers, requires Apple to make the payment. The company did not admit wrongdoing as part of the deal.
What was alleged
The claims centered on statements Apple made about what its AI system could do. Consumers argued the company overstated the technology's performance, leaving them with products that did not deliver on promised features.
Resolution without trial
By agreeing to the settlement, Apple avoids a trial that would have put its marketing practices under closer scrutiny. The payment is one of the larger sums the company has paid to resolve consumer class actions.
