Microsoft in Advanced Talks to Secure Continued Access to OpenAI Technology
Jul 29, 2025
Microsoft is in advanced discussions with OpenAI to reach a new agreement that would allow Microsoft continued access to OpenAI’s technology, according to several news sources.
The new deal aims to ensure Microsoft can use OpenAI's technology even if OpenAI develops artificial general intelligence (AGI), which is a type of AI system that can perform a wide range of tasks as well as a human.
If finalized, the agreement would help Microsoft keep improving its artificial intelligence products by using OpenAI’s latest technologies.
This arrangement is seen as an important step for OpenAI as it moves towards becoming a more commercial company.
What is artificial general intelligence (AGI)?
AGI is a form of artificial intelligence that can perform any intellectual task a human can do.
Why does Microsoft want continued access to OpenAI technology?
Microsoft uses OpenAI's technology to improve its own AI products and services.
How does this deal affect Microsoft customers?
If the deal is completed, Microsoft will be able to keep using and improving its AI-based tools and services for customers.
