OpenAI is negotiating to eliminate a provision that restricts Microsoft from accessing its advanced models once artificial general intelligence (AGI) is achieved. This move aims to unlock significant future investments, potentially amounting to billions of dollars. Currently, the agreement stipulates that Microsoft's access to OpenAI's technology would cease upon the creation of AGI, defined as a system outperforming humans in economically valuable tasks.
By removing this clause, OpenAI would allow Microsoft to continue its investment and access to all OpenAI technologies post-AGI. This strategic shift could enhance collaboration between the two companies and foster further advancements in AI. The discussions reflect OpenAI's desire to secure financial backing while maintaining a strong partnership with Microsoft.
