A leaked document reveals that OpenAI aims to achieve Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) by developing an AI system capable of generating $100 billion in profit. However, the company faces significant financial hurdles, including a projected $44 billion loss before profitability in 2029, largely due to its partnership with Microsoft. OpenAI's CEO, Sam Altman, suggests that AGI may be closer than expected, despite ongoing safety concerns.
The financial strain on OpenAI is evident, with substantial operational costs and a recent funding round that raised $6.6 billion to keep the company afloat. Analysts speculate that Microsoft may acquire OpenAI within three years, especially if the AI hype diminishes. The potential scrapping of a stringent AGI clause in their agreement with Microsoft could impact OpenAI's funding and future AI advancements.
