Microsoft and OpenAI dueling over artificial general intelligence, The Information reports

  • Microsoft and OpenAI are currently in disagreement over a contract term that would prevent Microsoft from utilizing advanced general AI technology once OpenAI develops it.
  • The conflict stems from a 2019 agreement in which Microsoft invested $1 billion to support AI development on Azure and agreed to lose AGI access upon OpenAI’s breakthrough, a provision Microsoft now seeks to remove but OpenAI has refused.
  • Despite extensive discussions, the dispute remains unresolved amid escalating tensions and reports that OpenAI requires Microsoft's consent to complete its shift to a for-profit, public-benefit corporation.
  • OpenAI's annualized revenue has increased to $10 billion, with ChatGPT reaching 500 million active users each week, and both companies affirmed their ongoing, positive collaboration with future talks described as promising.
  • The dispute suggests growing strain on the partnership that launched modern AI hype, with Microsoft possibly walking away or pursuing legal action if agreements are not reached.
