OpenAI Considers Dropping AGI Clause for Enhanced Microsoft Collaboration

As reported by the Financial Times, OpenAI is considering removing the AGI clause that currently limits Microsoft’s access to its most advanced models.

The clause restricts Microsoft from using OpenAI’s technology if it reaches the level of “artificial general intelligence” (AGI), a system surpassing human capabilities in most economically valuable tasks.

If OpenAI develops AGI, Microsoft would lose access to this advanced technology under the existing agreement. The proposal under discussion would amend OpenAI’s corporate structure, allowing Microsoft continuous access to and investment in all OpenAI technologies, even post-AGI development.

Microsoft and OpenAI have not yet responded to inquiries regarding these discussions.

This clause was initially included to prevent the potential misuse of the technology for commercial purposes, ensuring its control remained with OpenAI’s non-profit board. OpenAI’s website states, “AGI is explicitly carved out of all commercial and IP licensing agreements.”

Discussions about these changes are ongoing within OpenAI’s board, and no final decision has been made. Reuters earlier reported that OpenAI, supported financially by Microsoft, has been contemplating restructuring its business into a for-profit benefit corporation, moving away from non-profit board governance.
