Microsoft seeks long-term access to OpenAI tech beyond AGI milestone
Microsoft is in advanced talks with OpenAI to secure continued access to its artificial intelligence technologies even after OpenAI achieves artificial general intelligence (AGI). The agreement would solidify Microsoft’s role as a strategic partner as OpenAI transitions toward becoming a fully commercial enterprise. A previous deal allowed Microsoft exclusive rights to OpenAI’s models, but that arrangement hinges on OpenAI not reaching AGI. The new negotiations aim to extend Microsoft’s access regardless of future AGI developments, ensuring stability for its AI offerings such as Copilot and Azure OpenAI service.
This move underscores Microsoft’s commitment to maintaining leadership in enterprise AI amid a rapidly evolving competitive landscape.
