OpenAI Aims to Reduce Microsoft Revenue Share - OpenAI intends to reduce Microsoft's revenue share from 20% to 10% by 2030, as indicated by financial documents. This change aligns with OpenAI's plan to transform its for-profit sector into a public benefit corporation, while still being overseen by its nonprofit parent.
Despite Microsoft's significant investment and control over OpenAI's intellectual property, it has not agreed to this structural adjustment, seeking to protect its investment. The existing contract, lasting until 2030, grants Microsoft exclusivity rights on certain OpenAI technologies.
