As OpenAI works to restructure itself as a Public Benefit Corporation (PBC), Microsoft is reportedly in talks with the start-up to secure a greater stake than it currently owns and to ensure that it would continue to have access to OpenAI's systems if and when the ChatGPT maker achieves artificial general intelligence (AGI), a still vaguely defined concept. News of the partnership arrives less than one week after Anthropic agreed to a $1.5 billion settlement in a class action lawsuit filed by three authors after a judge ruled that the company had illegally used copyrighted books to train its AI models.
