Microsoft and OpenAI’s famed AGI agreement is dead
Summary
Microsoft and OpenAI have removed a clause from their partnership agreement that previously governed what would happen if AGI (artificial general intelligence, an AI system that can do any intellectual task a human can do) was developed. Under the new terms, Microsoft remains OpenAI's primary cloud partner with first access to new products, but OpenAI now has freedom to use other cloud providers instead of being locked into Microsoft's Azure platform.
