Is Microsoft’s new $135B OpenAI deal about innovation—or control?

Viewed 1

Microsoft has deepened its partnership with OpenAI, investing $135B as OpenAI becomes a public benefit corporation.

Key points:

  • Microsoft holds a 27% stake and retains IP rights until AGI.

  • An independent panel will verify AGI claims.

  • OpenAI can now collaborate with third parties and release open-weight models.

Supporters call it a win for AI progress. Critics say it tightens Microsoft’s grip on the future of intelligence.

What do you think — progress or power play?
