OpenAI’s Unreleased AGI Paper Could Complicate Microsoft Negotiations

OpenAI’s Unreleased AGI Paper Could Complicate Microsoft Negotiations

OpenAI's unreleased "Five Levels of General AI Capabilities" paper complicates its partnership with Microsoft due to a contract clause on artificial general intelligence (AGI). If OpenAI declares AGI, Microsoft's access to future technologies would be limited, leading to potential renegotiations or termination of the $13 billion partnership. The paper's classification of AI stages might influence OpenAI's AGI declaration, which both sides perceive differently, affecting the negotiation dynamics and OpenAI's strategic leverage.

OpenAI, Microsoft rift hinges on how smart AI can get

A rift exists between OpenAI and Microsoft over the potential of AI reaching humanlike intelligence, known as artificial general intelligence (AGI). This milestone could impact their partnership, allowing OpenAI to restrict Microsoft's access to future technology if AGI is achieved. The significance of AGI remains a contentious topic in the tech industry, and ongoing negotiations reflect its potential influence on one of Silicon Valley's prominent collaborations.

OpenAI’s open language model is imminent

OpenAI is preparing to release an open-weight language AI model, marking a significant move as the company seeks to restructure into a for-profit entity amidst ongoing negotiations with Microsoft. Unlike previous models, this one will be publicly accessible, allowing companies and governments to run it independently on platforms like Azure and Hugging Face. This open approach could strain the partnership between OpenAI and Microsoft, as it mirrors DeepSeek’s R1 model deployment.

Microsoft and OpenAI have a financial definition of AGI: Report | TechCrunch

Microsoft and OpenAI have a unique definition of artificial general intelligence (AGI) based on profits, according to a report. OpenAI must generate at least $100 billion in profits before they achieve AGI. However, OpenAI is projected to lose billions of dollars this year and may not turn a profit until 2029. This definition is different from the technical and philosophical understanding of AGI. The agreement between the two companies means Microsoft could have access to OpenAI's technology for over a decade. Some speculate that OpenAI may declare AGI sooner to exclude Microsoft, but the profit-focused definition may pose challenges.

DeepMind has detailed all the ways AGI could wreck the world

DeepMind has released a technical paper detailing how to develop artificial general intelligence (AGI) safely, projecting its possible emergence by 2030. They highlight four AGI risk categories: misuse, misalignment, mistakes, and structural risks. Suggestions include enhanced testing, safety protocols, amplified oversight, and limiting AGI authority to mitigate these risks. While predicting AGI is speculative, DeepMind emphasizes this as a starting point for critical conversations to ensure AGI will not act against human interests.

The tech powering ChatGPT won't make AI as smart as humans. Others might.

The article is about the limitations of the technology powering ChatGPT and the possibility of creating artificial general intelligence (AGI). While transformers can power ChatGPT, a recent paper suggests they might struggle in making human-like abstractions and predictions that imply AGI. However, a new model called Mamba, introduced by researchers from Carnegie Mellon and Together AI, shows promising performance and outperforms transformers in various tasks, including language modeling. If further testing confirms its superiority, Mamba could bring us closer to human-like AI.

OpenAI seeks to unlock investment by ditching 'AGI' clause with Microsoft

OpenAI is considering removing a provision that currently prevents Microsoft from accessing its most advanced models once OpenAI achieves artificial general intelligence (AGI), according to sources. The provision was put in place to exclude Microsoft from AGI technology, but OpenAI is now looking to change this as it seeks additional investment. If OpenAI removes the provision, Microsoft will be able to invest in and access all of OpenAI's technology after AGI is achieved. Both companies have yet to comment on the matter.

Apple Paper questions path to AGI, sparks division in GenAI group

Apple's research paper critiques large AI models for lacking true reasoning ability, revealing that they excel in pattern recognition but fail with complex problems. Apple's findings suggest caution in the pursuit of artificial general intelligence (AGI) compared to competitors like Google. Critics from Anthropic and Open Philanthropy contest the study's design, arguing models perform well with code-based tasks. The study highlights debates on AI's limitations and spurs discussions about its trajectory towards AGI.
