"It already has, he replied, suggesting that if you were to travel back in time to 1995 and evaluate our current versions of artificial intelligence from that vantage, most people would consider the technology's intelligence humanlikemaybe even superhuman. The goalposts for humanlike intelligence, he said, keep shifting each time AI improves. Intelligence has never been easy to define. For decades, we've debated what makes up analytical, creative and emotional intelligence in people, weighing the value of instruction-following against autonomy."
"Three weeks ago, on October 28, Microsoft and OpenAI updated their agreement. In it, Microsoft keeps special access to OpenAI's technology and retains the right to use it first in products until OpenAI says it has reached AGI. Under the new agreement, Microsoft also has the rights to post-AGI models through 2032, and if OpenAI claims it has reached AGI, that declaration will now be independently verified by an expert panel."
Definitions of humanlike intelligence shift as AI capabilities improve, making cross-era comparisons misleading. Debates over analytical, creative and emotional intelligence, and over instruction-following versus autonomy, complicate assessments of machine intelligence. Microsoft and OpenAI established a 2019 agreement tied to building artificial general intelligence (AGI), defined as highly autonomous systems that outperform humans at most economically valuable work. An updated agreement on October 28 preserves Microsoft's special access and product-first rights until OpenAI declares AGI, grants Microsoft rights to post-AGI models through 2032, and requires independent expert-panel verification of any AGI claim. A long-standing benchmark for machine intelligence dates to 1950.
