-- OpenAI is weighing ditching a provision on artificial general intelligence that currently keeps Microsoft out of its most advanced models, the FT reports, citing sources.

-- Removing the provision could unlock billions of dollars of future investments from Microsoft, which would be able to access OpenAI's artificial general intelligence, or AGI when the ChatGPT maker attains it. AGI is defined as a highly autonomous system that outperforms humans at most economically valuable work.

-- Microsoft declined to comment to the FT. OpenAI declined to comment on the specifics but Bret Taylor, chair of OpenAI's board, said the board "is focused on fulfilling [its] fiduciary obligation by ensuring that the company is well-positioned to continue advancing its mission of ensuring AGI benefits all of humanity."
