U.S. manufacturing output rebounded in September, with semiconductor production showing strong performance.
News from Bijie: U.S. manufacturing output rebounded in September, with semiconductor production showing strong performance. U.S. manufacturing output rebounded in September after a decline the previous month, in line with this year's recovery trend in manufacturing driven by capital investment. Data released by the Federal Reserve on Friday showed that manufacturing output rose 0.3%, while the August figure was revised to a decline of 0.2%. The September increase was in line with the median estimate of economists surveyed by Bloomberg. Overall industrial production, including mining and utilities, rose 0.7%, the largest increase in five months. Utilities output rose 3.5%, likely reflecting strong electricity demand from the hottest September on record. Mining output also increased. Sal Guatieri, senior economist at BMO Capital Markets, said in a report: "Driven by the AI boom and healthy consumer demand, U.S. factories continue to achieve moderate growth in goods output."

AI auditors at big tech companies can only see what is shown to them.
Six of the world's most powerful AI companies promised the White House last week that they would allow outsiders to inspect their work. On September 29, Nvidia, OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta, and xAI signed an agreement pledging to work with independent external auditors or evaluators and to have independent board members review audit reports to ensure issues are addressed. However, the agreement did not specify who selects the auditors, what the auditors may inspect, or whether any findings will be made public, nor did it impose penalties for ignoring audits. Each company can choose its own auditor and decide what the auditor is allowed to see.
