The Information website reported thatMicrosoft and OpenAI signed an agreement on general artificial intelligence (AGI, artificial general intelligence), which means that OpenAI will enter the general artificial intelligence stage when it develops an artificial intelligence system that can generate profits of $1000 billion.
This is far from the definition of general artificial intelligence used by other industry players, which is not explained from a technical or ethical philosophical perspective, but simply defined by the profit generated by artificial intelligence.
On the other hand, the agreement between the two parties also highlights that the cooperation between Microsoft and OpenAI may end when the latter's technology can generate profits of $1000 billion. At that time, OpenAI may no longer need to rely on Microsoft's funding and platform assistance and will be able to operate in a fully independent form.
However, considering that OpenAI is still losing billions of dollars and previously announced that it would take until at least 2029 to achieve positive profits, Microsoft can still maintain in-depth cooperation with OpenAI in the next few years.OpenAI provides artificial intelligence models to outsidersFrom this perspective, it seems that they are also preparing in advance to no longer cooperate deeply with OpenAI in the future.
