OpenAI is evaluating the removal of a key AGI-related clause that limits Microsoft’s access to its most advanced technologies. The potential shift aims to attract future investments and strengthen ties with its primary backer, according to people familiar with the matter.
OpenAI Considers Removing Microsoft AGI Restriction
According to Friday's Financial Times report, OpenAI is already in talks to remove a provision that prevents Microsoft from accessing the start-up's most sophisticated models until it reaches "artificial general intelligence" in order to allow further investments.
The present conditions state that Microsoft will lose all rights to any artificial general intelligence (AGI) developed by OpenAI (a "highly autonomous system that outperforms humans at most economically valuable work").
The FT claimed, citing sources familiar with the situation, that the ChatGPT-maker is considering removing the restriction from its corporate structure. This would allow Microsoft to continue investing in and accessing all of OpenAI's technology even after AGI is realized.
The organizations Microsoft and OpenAI did not immediately react to the requests for comment that were made by Reuters.
Safeguards in OpenAI's Corporate Structure
This provision, which transfers ownership of the technology to OpenAI's non-profit board, was inserted to prevent its exploitation for profit.
"AGI is explicitly carved out of all commercial and IP licensing agreements," states OpenAI's website.
Per Yahoo Finance, according to what was stated on the website, the OpenAI board would decide when artificial general intelligence is attained.
The FT article stated that OpenAI's board is currently deliberating over the choices and has not yet reached a final decision.
OpenAI's Transition to a For-Profit Benefit Corporation
In September, Reuters was the first to reveal that OpenAI, which was supported by Microsoft, was planning to reorganize its main operations into a for-profit benefit corporation, separate from its non-profit board.
A investment round worth $6.6 billion was successfully completed by OpenAI in October, bringing the company's total valuation to $157 billion.
