A Leaked Document Reveals OpenAI is Redefining AGI Benchmark

Share ↗
An open book with the title "Achieving AGI". There's a lightbulb above the book. The room has a wooden desk and a chair.

Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) has long been the holy grail of artificial intelligence research. It’s the stuff of science fiction: machines that can think, reason, and perform tasks across a broad range of domains just like humans—or even better. But what if I told you that AGI is no longer defined by its ability to mimic human intelligence? Instead, it’s now being measured by its ability to rake in a cool $100 billion in profits. Yes, you read that right. According to a leaked document, OpenAI’s collaboration with Microsoft has redefined AGI as an AI system capable of generating $100 billion in profit.

This audacious financial benchmark has sparked heated debates across the tech world, with critics arguing that it prioritizes capitalism over innovation and ethics. Meanwhile, OpenAI, backed by Microsoft’s deep pockets, is trudging along a rocky financial path with projected losses of $44 billion before it hopes to hit profitability in 2029. Let’s dive into this fascinating (and slightly terrifying) story of how AGI is now defined by dollars instead of data.

The $100 Billion AGI Benchmark: A Bold Redefinition

Traditionally, AGI has been seen as a technological milestone: machines achieving human-level cognitive abilities across diverse tasks. But OpenAI and Microsoft have flipped the script. Under their agreement, AGI is now defined as an AI system that generates $100 billion in annual profits. Yes, AGI has gone from being the Einstein of AI to the Jeff Bezos of AI.
