TLDR: OpenAI is addressing the issue of “AI hallucinations” by developing a new training method that focuses on rewarding correct steps of reasoning rather than just the final conclusion. This approach, called "process supervision," aims to mitigate logical errors and improve the explainability of AI models.
OpenAI's research aims to make models more capable of solving complex reasoning problems and detecting and addressing misinformation or falsehoods generated by AI systems. The company has released a dataset of 800,000 human labels used to train the model mentioned in the research paper.
Experts have expressed skepticism and highlighted the need for further examination of the research. Concerns remain regarding the effectiveness of the approach in real-world scenarios and the transparency and accountability of AI systems.
OpenAI plans to submit the paper for peer review and has not disclosed when the new strategy will be implemented in its products. While the efforts to reduce errors are welcomed, there are ongoing challenges in ensuring meaningful accountability and transparency in AI development and deployment.

TLDR: The U.S. Treasury seeks to curb investments specifically related to China and its military based on proposed rules yesterday aimed to limit U.S. investments and knowledge transfer to Chinese companies engaged in advanced semiconductors, artificial intelligence, and quantum computing.
The Biden administration plans to ban investments in certain Chinese technology firms and increase oversight of others to address concerns over American capital and know-how benefiting sensitive sectors in China.
Efforts are being made to restrict the supply of U.S.-origin goods to Chinese companies such as telecommunications company Huawei, but the Commerce Department has not yet drafted a rule. Scrutiny of exports to China has intensified, with a significant number of requests denied or left unaddressed to prevent the advancement of Beijing's military objectives.

TLDR: Baidu, the Chinese search giant, plans to establish a 1 billion yuan ($145 million USD) venture capital fund to support startups focusing on content generated by artificial intelligence applications. This move reflects the growing interest in AI-generated content.
Baidu will also launch a competition inviting developers to create applications utilizing its ERNIE LLM or integrate the model into their existing products. This initiative follows the trend of Chinese tech companies developing their own LLMs in response to the success of OpenAI's ChatGPT.
