OpenAI considers ditching provision that would prevent AGI from being used for commercial gain

OpenAI is contemplating lifting a restriction that prevents Microsoft from accessing its most advanced AI when artificial general intelligence (AGI) is achieved. This would enable Microsoft to continue investing in and utilizing OpenAI's technology post-AGI development. The existing rule aims to prevent AGI's commercial use by giving control to OpenAI's nonprofit board. The decision is not final, and the potential change comes as OpenAI seeks funding for ongoing research and development.
