Listen "EP016: Microsoft-OpenAI Deal: The $100B Nonprofit Gambit"
Episode Synopsis
Microsoft and OpenAI just signed a non-binding agreement that could reshape the entire AI industry—turning OpenAI into a $500B company while keeping nonprofit control. In this episode, Ada Pierce and Mike Turing unpack the complex restructuring that gives OpenAI's nonprofit a $100B stake, eliminates Microsoft's "AGI poison pill" clause, and shifts revenue sharing from 20% to just 8% by decade's end. Learn why Microsoft is trading $50B in future revenue for strategic access, how the December 31st deadline creates massive pressure, and what this means for every enterprise using AI. We explore the Oracle infrastructure deals, regulatory hurdles, safety concerns, and why the era of exclusive AI partnerships just ended. Plus: your 6-point executive playbook for navigating vendor instability as AI governance gets redefined in real-time.Disclaimer: This episode is AI-powered—researched, scripted, and voiced—using publicly available real news and data.
