揭密 OpenAI、Anthropic與 DeepMind 打造通用人工智慧(AGI)世紀爭霸戰!《紐約時報》記者採訪逾 150 位核心人士,揭開矽谷巨頭內鬥與權力黑箱,將極度複雜的 AI 前沿技術轉化為人人都能讀懂的精彩故事,幫助我們思考:在「超級智慧」即將誕生的新時代中,個人與社會該如何面對。

內容簡介

《紐約時報》2026 年最受期待的非虛構類書籍

這是 21 世紀「曼哈頓計劃」的故事:一場打造通用人工智慧(AGI)的世紀競賽。

在過去十年間,少數幾家 AI 公司一直在全力衝刺,試圖打造出人類歷史上最強大的技術——通用人工智慧(AGI),一種能在幾乎所有領域都超越人類的電腦系統。有些人希望 AGI 能治癒疾病、拯救地球;其他人則擔心它可能會毀滅地球上的所有人。但無論如何,他們還是決定把它打造出來。

凱文·魯斯(Kevin Roose)所著的《AGI 編年史》,是對這場耗資數兆美元的 AGI 衝刺競賽最權威、最深入幕後的權威紀錄。魯斯憑藉對 OpenAI、Anthropic 和 Google DeepMind 內部人士進行的 150 多次深度訪談,以及未公開的公司文件和研究備忘錄,重構了科技史上最具影響力的十年。他帶領我們走進研究人員的實驗室,親眼見證大型語言模型如何以超越人類的速度學會對話、推理與寫程式;他帶我們來到白宮,直擊高層官員如何努力應對這項發展過快、快到難以理解更無法監管的技術;他揭露了導致 Anthropic 創辦人離開 OpenAI 的內部對立細節,並對山姆.奧特曼(Sam Altman)戲劇性遭解僱以及同樣戲劇性復職執行長一事提供了全新報導;他帶來了 Google 為了追趕 AI 前沿而進行緊急動員的幕後故事;他更帶我們走進舊金山的 AI 圈,看那些住駭客屋、主張加速 AI 發展的「加速主義者」(accelerationists),與參加 AI 安全高峰會、擔心 AI 可能帶來災難的「末日派」(doomers),為了爭奪主導權纏鬥不休。

《The AGI Chronicles》憑藉嚴謹的新聞報導與令人欲罷不能的懸疑感,揭示了人類歷史上風險最高的一場科技探索背後的真實故事——一場旨在創造全新、外星般智慧的豪賭,而它最終不是拯救人類,就是毀滅人類。

「令人熱血沸騰且報導極其精彩……魯斯在讓複雜技術變得通俗易懂的同時,也傳達出一個全新世界正在誕生的歷史性時刻。」——華特·艾薩克森(Walter Isaacson),《馬斯克傳》作者

"Exciting and brilliantly reported . . . Roose makes the technology understandable while also conveying the historic nature of a new world being born." ―Walter Isaacson, author of Elon Musk

A New York Times Most Anticipated Nonfiction Book of 2026

This is the story of the twenty-first century’s Manhattan Project: the race to create artificial general intelligence.

For the last decade, a handful of AI companies have been racing to build the most powerful technology in history: artificial general intelligence, or AGI―a computer system capable of outdoing humans at almost anything. Some of them hoped AGI would cure diseases and heal the planet. Others feared it could kill everyone on Earth. They decided to build it anyway.

Kevin Roose’s The AGI Chronicles is the definitive, behind-the-scenes account of the trillion-dollar sprint to create AGI. Drawing on more than 150 interviews with insiders at OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google DeepMind, as well as unpublished company documents and research memos, Roose reconstructs the most consequential decade in tech history. He takes us inside the rooms where researchers watch large language models learn to talk, reason, and code at superhuman speed. He brings us to the White House, where top officials grapple with a technology that is improving too fast to understand, let alone regulate. He offers new details on the disagreements that led the founders of Anthropic to defect from OpenAI, and fresh reporting on Sam Altman’s dramatic firing―and equally dramatic reinstatement―as CEO. He gives us the inside story of Google’s frantic attempt to catch up to the AI frontier. And he ushers us into the San Francisco AI scene, where “accelerationists” in hacker houses and “doomers” at AI safety summits battle each other for supremacy.

With reportorial rigor and page-turning suspense, The AGI Chronicles reveals the true story of the most high-stakes technological quest in human history―an audacious attempt to create a new, alien form of intelligence that could either save humanity or destroy it.

各界推薦

"In this exciting and brilliantly reported book, Kevin Roose takes us behind the scenes of the secretive race to create artificial general intelligence. The AGI Chronicles is filled with drama and bitter rivalries, very colorful characters, and fascinating breakthroughs. Roose makes the technology understandable while also conveying the historic nature of a new world being born." ―Walter Isaacson, author of Elon Musk and The Code Breaker

"By taking us inside the deeply human culture where AGI is being built, Kevin Roose brilliantly captures a truth I've long argued: AI is not an alien invasion, but a profound product of our own humanity. It is a tool we are creating from within ourselves to reach beyond our biological limitations. The AGI Chronicles provides the vital human context for the intelligence explosion ahead." ―Ray Kurzweil, inventor, futurist, and author of The Singularity Is Nearer

"[Roose] delivers a propulsive chronicle of the breakneck sprint to develop artificial general intelligence . . . Clear-eyed, deeply reported, and brisk, Roose’s account is an indispensable window into how the world arrived at a precarious technological inflection point." ―Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"Stuffed with head-spinning journeys into how AI/AGI models are constructed and trained . . . The best single explainer of how artificial intelligence came about, and what might happen next." ―Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
