Microsoft, OpenAI Tie AGI to Profit Goals - Microsoft and OpenAI have defined artificial general intelligence (AGI) as when OpenAI's AI systems generate at least $100 billion in profits, according to The Information. This definition focuses on profits, differing from the traditional technical and philosophical views of AGI. Currently, OpenAI is expected to incur losses until 2029, indicating it is far from achieving this profit-based definition.
A recent launch of OpenAI's o3 model shows improved AI performance. However, its high computing costs make it challenging to reach the profitability needed for the AGI target.
