The Clause in the Microsoft-OpenAI contract restricts Microsoft's access to OpenAI's models if artificial general intelligence is achieved, voiding terms otherwise effective until 2030. Initially overlooked, its importance has surged amid a strained Microsoft-OpenAI relationship, sparking investigative attention. The implications of the contract extend to the debate on the transformative potential and profitability of AGI, raising concerns about the control of such groundbreaking technology.
"If this is the last invention of humankind, then all bets are off. Different people will have different judgments on what that is, and when that is."
"The contract basically declared that if OpenAI's models achieved artificial general intelligence, Microsoft would no longer have access to its new models."
"The Clause has been at the center of the increasingly frayed relationship between Microsoft and OpenAI and is under renegotiation."
"The tenuous conditions of that contract go to the heart of a raging debate about just how world-changing-and lucrative-AGI might be if realized."
