1. OpenAI Rarely Publishes Paper, Reveals Roots of AI Hallucination

OpenAI has recently published a rare paper, systematically analyzing why large language models generate “hallucinations” (where the model confidently fabricates facts). The research points out that current training and evaluation methods emphasize rewarding the model for guessing, rather than encouraging it to admit “I don’t know” when uncertain, directly resulting in confidently incorrect outputs. The paper suggests future models should impose greater penalties for confident errors and encourage expressions of uncertainty to reduce hallucinations. OpenAI is also reorganizing its model behavior team to push forward in this area.

Check out this article on our site for an in‑depth analysis of this paper.

Why Language Models Hallucinate

Anthropic, developer of chatbot Claude, has agreed to pay $1.5 billion to settle with the Authors Guild in response to a class-action lawsuit over alleged copyright infringement involving tens of thousands of works used as training data. Each work can claim nearly $3,000 in compensation, and Anthropic must also delete all pirated copies. This settlement marks the “largest public copyright compensation in history,” signaling increased copyright compliance pressure across the AI industry. Major companies such as OpenAI face similar lawsuits.

3. Warner Bros. Sues Midjourney for Infringing Film & TV IP

Warner Bros. Discovery alleges that image generation model Midjourney allows users to create images resembling Superman, Batman, and other characters, constituting intentional infringement. Warner Bros. demands that Midjourney cease these activities and compensate for losses. This case reflects the fierce clash between AI content generation and traditional IP rights.

4. GitHub Copilot Faces Criticism for Forced Integration, Developers Consider Migration

Microsoft’s forceful integration of the Copilot AI service on its GitHub platform has triggered strong backlash from developers. Community members voiced dissatisfaction over difficult-to-disable features and potential code training infringement. Some projects, such as GNOME and FreeBSD, have already disabled AI code contributions. Open-source developers are considering migrating to alternatives such as Codeberg, posing new challenges for Microsoft in platform ecosystem and user retention.

5. OpenAI’s Revenue Expected to Reach Nearly $10 Billion This Year

Reports indicate that OpenAI is expected to generate around $10 billion in revenue this year from products such as ChatGPT, with a full-year target of $13 billion. The company is developing its own data center chips to optimize server costs. As Agent, API, and other business segments diversify, OpenAI has become a major bellwether for AI commercialization.

6. AI Ethics & Safety: OpenAI Faces Another Warning from Prosecutors

Attorneys general from multiple US states have jointly sent a letter to OpenAI warning that any harm to children caused by AI products will not be tolerated. Recent cases highlight risks involved in AI interactions with underage users, prompting both regulators and companies to bolster safety mechanisms.

7. UK Government’s Trial of Copilot Fails to Show Significant Productivity Gains

The UK Department for Business conducted a large-scale trial of M365 Copilot—while certain task satisfaction improved, overall productivity and complex task performance fell short of expectations. This reflects remaining room for improvement in AI assistants within the office automation space.
