OpenAI is taking up the mantle against AI "hallucinations," the company announced Wednesday, with a newer method for training artificial intelligence models. To date, Microsoft has invested more than $13 billion in OpenAI, and the startup's value has reached roughly $29 billion. AI hallucinations occur when models like OpenAI's ChatGPT or Google 's Bard fabricate information entirely, behaving as if they are spouting facts. OpenAI's potential new strategy for fighting the fabrications: Train AI models to reward themselves for each individual, correct step of reasoning when they're arriving at an answer, instead of just rewarding a correct final conclusion. OpenAI has released an accompanying dataset of 800,000 human labels it used to train the model mentioned in the research paper, Cobbe said.
