AGI定义之争：OpenAI与微软的隐秘角力

人工智能领域最引人注目的合作关系——OpenAI与微软之间的深度联盟，正因一个未曾发布的内部文件而面临微妙的紧张局势。这项建立在超过130亿美元投资基础上的伙伴关系，其未来走向似乎被“通用人工智能”（AGI）的模糊定义所牵动。

At the heart of this tension lies OpenAI’s confidential research paper, reportedly titled “Five Levels of General AI Capabilities.” This document, which proposes a framework for classifying different stages of AI advancement, has become a potential point of contention precisely because of a crucial clause in the partnership agreement with Microsoft.

这份内部文件之所以引发波澜，关键在于它对未来AI能力水平的界定。如果OpenAI按照该文件中的标准宣布其技术达到了某个被视为AGI的阶段，合同中的特定条款就会被触发。该条款规定，一旦OpenAI正式宣布实现AGI，微软对其未来核心技术的访问权限将受到限制。

This contractual constraint poses a significant challenge for Microsoft, which has invested billions banking on continued access to OpenAI’s cutting-edge developments. Should the AGI declaration occur, Microsoft might be forced into complex renegotiations or could even consider withdrawing from the partnership altogether, a scenario with immense financial and strategic implications.

这起因一份内部文件引发的合作波折，不仅仅是两大科技巨头之间的合同纠纷，更折射出在AGI黎明前夕，技术定义、商业利益与战略主导权之间错综复杂的关系。它迫使我们思考：在追逐AGI的道路上，合作的边界在哪里？技术的进步将如何重塑伙伴关系？以及，谁拥有定义未来的权力？
