Microsoft and OpenAI have a financial definition of AGI: report

Group 1 - Microsoft and OpenAI have a specific internal definition of artificial general intelligence (AGI) based on profits, indicating that OpenAI is years away from achieving AGI [1] - OpenAI has reportedly agreed that it will only achieve AGI when it generates at least $100 billion in profits, which is significantly different from the broader technical and philosophical definitions of AGI [2] - OpenAI is expected to incur billions in losses this year and has informed investors that it will not turn a profit until 2029 [2] Group 2 - Microsoft loses access to OpenAI's technology once AGI is reached, which could mean Microsoft retains access to OpenAI's models for a decade or more due to the profit-centric definition of AGI [3] - There is speculation that OpenAI might declare AGI sooner to limit Microsoft's access, but the existing agreement suggests otherwise [3] - The recent debate over OpenAI's o3 model raises questions about its significance toward AGI, as it incurs high compute costs, which could negatively impact OpenAI and Microsoft's profit-focused definition of AGI [4]
