Weekly News:The New 'Manhattan Project' Unveiled

Trump allies draft AI order

Rumors suggest that former President Donald Trump's supporters are crafting an executive order focused on the advancement of artificial intelligence within the military sphere, potentially reversing existing rules and indicating a significant pivot in national AI strategy should the Republicans reclaim the presidency. trump_blog_960x540.jpg

The details:

  • The proposal also recommends the establishment of industry-driven organizations tasked with assessing AI models and safeguarding them against external risks.
  • This strategy would promptly reassess and discard perceived 'excessive regulations' hindering AI progression and would overturn President Biden's existing AI directive.
  • Senator J.D. Vance, recently appointed as Trump's potential vice president, has shown his inclination toward advocating for open-source AI development and minimal government intervention in regulation.

Why it is important: As AI technology rapidly evolves, its emergence as a critical political topic is unsurprising. The perspectives of Trump's team offer a dramatic contrast to the incumbent administration's cautious, safety-oriented methodology. The forthcoming 2024 presidential election may well become a decisive juncture for AI regulatory policy in the United States.

OpenAI trains AI to explain itself better

OpenAI is enhancing its AI's ability to communicate with a new research breakthrough that aims to make the complex workings of large language models more transparent and verifiable. Here's a summary of the innovative approach:

  • OpenAI introduces a "Prover-Verifier Game," a method where an advanced AI (the prover) is tasked with convincing a less sophisticated AI (the verifier) of the accuracy of its responses.
  • This process is played out over several rounds, teaching the prover to produce not just correct answers, but also answers that can be easily validated by the verifier.
  • Although this technique only marginally increased accuracy—by approximately 50%—it significantly improved the human-checkability of the solutions.
  • The method was initially tested using elementary math problems, with ambitions to scale up to more intricate subjects in the future.

Why it matters: As AI continues to advance and potentially outpace human capabilities, the ability to ensure that AI outputs remain understandable to humans is essential for safety and trust. This research presents a scalable method that could help maintain the integrity and honesty of AI systems. However, the trade-off in performance to achieve greater explainability highlights the ongoing challenge of balancing the sophistication of AI with its ability to be understood.
