Microsoft may end big talks with OpenAI
Microsoft might walk away from important discussions with OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, according to a recent Financial Times report. The two companies have been negotiating their multi-billion-dollar partnership, but they’re struggling to agree on key points, like how much ownership Microsoft should have in OpenAI moving forward. If no deal is reached, Microsoft plans to stick with its current agreement, which lets it use OpenAI’s tech until 2030.

Microsoft has invested heavily in OpenAI, and this partnership has helped make it a top player in artificial intelligence. As OpenAI’s biggest supporter, Microsoft must approve any changes, like OpenAI’s plan to become a for-profit company. OpenAI thinks this shift would help it raise more money. However, tensions have risen.

Earlier this week, the Wall Street Journal reported that OpenAI leaders considered accusing Microsoft of unfair business practices in their deal. Neither Microsoft nor OpenAI responded to requests for comments on the latest news. The outcome of these talks could shape the future of their partnership and affect the AI industry, where both companies play major roles. For now, Microsoft seems ready to pause negotiations if no agreement is found soon.
