OpenAI aims more investment by removing ‘AGI’ clause with Microsoft

OpenAI is in discussions to remove a clause that shuts Microsoft out of the start-up’s most advanced models when it achieves “artificial general intelligence”, as it seeks to unlock future investments, the Financial Times reported on Friday.

As per the current terms, when OpenAI creates AGI – defined as a “highly autonomous system that outperforms humans at most economically valuable work” – Microsoft’s access to such a technology would be void.
