The partnership between OpenAI and Microsoft is facing potential disputes regarding their contract, specifically an exit clause tied to the achievement of artificial general intelligence (AGI). The core issue lies in the inability to definitively prove when AGI is reached. Experts suggest that both companies may want to exit the agreement due to evolving circumstances in the AI landscape. A representative from the University of South Florida highlights that defining AGI is subjective, potentially leading to conflict over its verification, and a performance-based measure, like a Turing Test, may need to be adopted.
"They're never going to settle on a definition of AGI that is intuitively satisfying to all. Any attempt to define AGI by looking at the internals of how the mind works often gets muddied by things like qualia and consciousness."
"Instead, I expect they're going to need to pick a somewhat arbitrary dividing line, purely tied to tests of performance. One example might be based on some consensus-based variant of the Turing Test in which a group of laypeople are asked to interact [blindly] with either humans or the AI."
