Microsoft and OpenAI's AGI Definition: In a groundbreaking approach, Microsoft and OpenAI have defined AGI by its economic impact, setting a benchmark where AGI must generate at least $100 billion in profits. This definition has sparked a debate on whether AGI should be gauged by economic success or by the scope of its intelligence. The agreement also stipulates that OpenAI must use Microsoft's Azure for computing needs.
