Microsoft, OpenAI Define AGI Through Profits - A report from The Information states that Microsoft and OpenAI define artificial general intelligence (AGI) as AI systems generating at least $100 billion in profits, differing from the traditional technical AGI concept. OpenAI is expected to face significant losses and not become profitable until 2029.
Microsoft will maintain access to OpenAI's technology until AGI is achieved, possibly for over a decade. Recent discussions have centered on OpenAI's o3 model as a potential AGI indicator, though its high compute costs challenge the profit-focused AGI definition.
