OpenAI and Microsoft have a secret definition for “AGI,” which is an abbreviation for artificial general intelligence, or any system that can outperform humans at most tasks. According to leaked documents received from informationThe two companies agreed that by 2023, AGI will be successful when OpenAI has developed an AI system capable of generating at least $100 billion in profits.
There has been a long-running debate in the AI community about what AGI really means, or whether computers will ever be good enough to outperform humans in most tasks and sweep major economic frontiers.
The term “artificial intelligence” is a bit of a misnomer, because it's really mostly just a prediction machine. Using keywords and searching a lot of data without really understanding the underlying concept, OpenAI has received more than $13 billion in funding from Microsoft over the years. And that money came with a strange contractual clause in which OpenAI would stop licensing Microsoft to use any new technology. developed after AGI came to fruition
OpenAI was founded as a non-profit organization under the guise that it would use its influence and any AGI it develops to create products that benefit humanity. The idea behind cutting off Microsoft once AGI comes to fruition is that unfettered access to OpenAI's intellectual property could unduly consolidate power among the tech giants. in order to incentivize billions in investment in non-profit organizations Microsoft's current deal with OpenAI gives Microsoft and other investors a share of the profits until they raise $100 billion. The cap is there to ensure that most of the profits go back to creating products that ultimately benefit humanity. All of this is just pie-in-the-sky talk, because at this point the AI just isn't that powerful.
OpenAI's non-profit structure has long been considered a joke. And it comes as no surprise that the company announced its intention this year to transition to a for-profit structure. (while still maintaining its mission to benefit all humanity) Because today's non-profit structure makes It is difficult to earn more money and compete with other AI players because of this, information Microsoft and OpenAI are said to be negotiating a variety of management changes that would take effect if the company restructures. Microsoft currently serves as OpenAI's exclusive cloud hosting provider, and OpenAI may want to end things. that including stopping profit sharing And it changed to just giving a direct share to Microsoft.
Microsoft and OpenAI have been on different paths for some time. There have been recent reports that the latter has begun. Incorporates internally developed AI models into 365 Copilot products to improve costs and efficiency. It doesn't make sense for Microsoft to continue relying on OpenAI, an independent company that develops similar productivity tools. For technology that is believed to be the core of future productivity software Especially with all chaos and drama Surrounding OpenAI, Microsoft needs its own proprietary technology to chart its own course.
OpenAI is still far from achieving $100 billion in profits from the technology, with its true value still being speculative. This means that it must continue to deliver technology and profits to Microsoft for a long time. That's not as much as they're headed towards becoming a competitor, and OpenAI is seeking new investors, which it will want if needed. It continues to burn billions in cash.– Eliminating cloud hosting associations may allow OpenAI to better negotiate hosting costs with other providers. Which is what Google has.
