OpenAI may remove a clause preventing Microsoft from accessing its most advanced technology once artificial general intelligence (AGI) is achieved, according to the Financial Times. This clause was designed to protect AGI from being misused commercially and to ensure the technology remains under the control of OpenAI's nonprofit board. However, due to financial pressures, the board is reconsidering this provision, which would allow Microsoft to continue investing in OpenAI's technology post-AGI.
The provision was aimed at safeguarding against the potential misuse of AGI for commercial gain, effectively transferring ownership of the technology to OpenAI's nonprofit board. Currently, the decision on whether to maintain this clause is pending, as the board evaluates the financial implications of their options. There is a growing urgency for OpenAI to secure additional funding to sustain its research and development efforts.
