Abstract
As the core engine driving the intelligent transformation of global industries, artificial intelligence (AI) deep learning systems have shown a cross-organizational development trend that breaks through the boundaries of a single organization and profoundly reshaping the global industrial ecosystem. The research findings are as follows: (1) The joint cost-sharing model and the aggregated integration decision-making model demonstrate outstanding effectiveness at the technical incentive mechanism level of AI deep learning. (2) When the initial innovation level of the product is relatively high, the AI deep learning system is positively correlated with the effort level and innovation ability of the participants, in the joint cost-sharing and aggregated integration decision-making model, various entities and the entire AI deep learning system have been optimized. (3) Under the aggregated and integrated decision-making mode, the effort level of participants and subjects towards the AI deep learning system is the highest, and thus the level of the AI deep learning system also reaches the optimal level. Previous studies have overlooked cooperative selection models of AI. This article can effectively enhance the depth of collaboration among entities, improve the level of output, and provide a theoretical path for the timely upgrading and development of AI systems.

Introduction
Common technology is a basic technology that can be widely used in many different industries or fields. The industrial common technology like building a solid “bridge” for the continuous innovation of subsequent complementary technologies. 1 Due to its platform effect, common technology plays a central role in promoting industrial development. Common technology has even become a powerful engine for economic progress and industrial upgrading in the country.2,3 As the current disruptive technology leads to the development of AI, common technology, cross-organizational aggregation and integration decision-making research and development (R&D), optimal decision, and differential game fields, AI triggers a new wave revolution and becomes the core technology to generate new productivity. 4 Under the perspective of industrial common technology, is a kind of cooperation mode with the development of technological innovation as the core, which has received increasing attention in recent years. Such models are typically composed of billions or even hundreds of billions of parameters, showing more robust performance and excellent generalization capabilities when dealing with complex tasks. The link between the AI deep learning systems and end-consumer enterprises has become even closer as the industry continues to develop. For example, Deepseek and Tsinghua University’s AI laboratory have developed the world’s first Longbench, a system for evaluating long text processing technology. In the consumer terminal field, Hisense TV and other enterprises have accessed Deepseek’s AI to provide more intelligent technical support for consumer terminals, thus bringing higher value-added to end-consumption enterprises. Therefore, we can analyze how AI deep learning-related enterprises can improve the level of aggregation and integration decision-making innovation and R&D efficiency from the perspective of common industrial technologies. A new model of cross-institutional cooperation in the R&D of common industrial technologies has been gradually established, which can not only effectively identify and solve the hidden “reefs” in the process of aggregation and integration decision-making R&D of supply chains of AI deep learning enterprises, but also cooperate with terminal consumer enterprises, and develops differentiated model choices for consumer enterprises based on different terminal enterprise application scenarios, continuously collects feedback from the terminal enterprise side to realize the rapid terminal application of the AI deep learning, and then promote the AI deep learning enterprises to achieve rapid iteration.
The environment for the development of AI deep learning enterprises is gradually “rising” as a series of activities, such as R&D, innovation, testing, and commissioning in the AI enterprises are in full swing, and their importance is increasingly magnified. 5 Industrial security issues such as arithmetic bottlenecks, data shortages, and huge re-source consumption are becoming more prominent. These hidden dangers are not only in an isolated category but are very likely to trigger a “domino” shock effect, laying a very threatening potential pitfall. 6 For AI deep learning enterprises, efficient use of R&D resources and industrial base, breakthroughs in key technological problems, promotion of industrial chain reinforcement and soundness, through cross-border cooperation to create AI deep learning enterprises common technology cross-institution cooperation R&D system, to enhance their core competitiveness, which is the core path to achieve win-win cooperation. Nowadays, AI deep learning systems are facing challenges in industry chain cooperation, application scene expansion and extension, effective cost control, business model innovation, and change. How to break the existing “bottlenecks” by restricting their development, and filling the current significant “short boards”, has become the core academic and practical problems that all the participants in the AI deep learning systems need to solve.
The research ideas of this article are as follows: based on the presented evidence, this paper starts from the perspective of cross-institutional common technology development. This paper applies to the differential game model, to explore the cross-institutional aggregation and integration decision-making R&D mechanism in a system composed of end-consumption enterprises, scientific research institutes, and AI deep learning enterprises. The goal is to provide theoretical guidance of practical value for the AI deep learning enterprises to enhance the benefits of synergism and realize the path of high-efficiency cooperation.
This paper presents the following innovations in the research process: (1) this paper considers the effect of time factors on the output of cross-institutional cooperation on common technologies in AI deep learning enterprises. Introducing a differential game approach to analyze coordination and technology-derived outcomes of cross-institutional cooperation in AI deep learning enterprises. (2) This paper develops a differential game-theoretic framework for cross-institutional distributed autonomous decision-making and aggregated and integrated decision-making among institutional members, and this paper considers three R&D cooperation models, analyzes, and calculates the benefit effects of technological innovation cooperation under different conditions. (3) This paper is based on the consumer-centric principle, the impact of feedback information from end-consumer enterprises on cross-institutional R&D collaboration coordination and optimal returns is considered in the model construction.
Literature review
Related research on technology innovation in the artificial intelligence deep learning
At present, AI deep learning enterprises problems such as arithmetic bottlenecks, data shortages, huge resource consumption, and other industrial security problems are becoming increasingly prominent. 6 At the same time, cross-institutional cooperation in the R&D of common technologies for the AI deep learning enterprises has been established. The potential that AI deep learning enterprises technologies can provide for technology users to achieve the desired goals, can empower traditional manufacturing enterprises to achieve digital and intelligent transformation and upgrade with the uniqueness that distinguishes them from conventional technologies. 7 For example, the potential to complete daily tasks for the enterprise through autonomous decision-making, autonomous learning, autonomous perception, and autonomous coordination, or the potential to achieve more natural, effective, and reliable in-formation sharing. 8 Ao systematically reviewed the latest applications of deep learning across organizational departments, such as the demand for advanced preprocessing techniques in specific sensor environments and the deployment methods of deep learning in time series modeling. 9 The AI deep learning system offers the potential to improve the digital transformation performance of manufacturing enterprises. However, the ability to produce the desired results also depends on the goal-oriented behavior these enterprises adopt. 10
In addition, the AI deep learning enterprises have a natural ability to collaborate across organizations on the premise that the AI deep learning enterprises has the basic potential for cross-technological cooperation and possesses the characteristics of self-learning, reinforcement, and adaptability. 11 The common technical cooperation of AI deep learning systems is shown in the three aspects of storage, analysis, and recommendation, which not only reduces the cost between the cooperating subjects but also strengthens the stickiness of the cooperation between the subjects. 12 Sjödin et al., on the other hand, argued that the common technical cooperation of AI deep learning systems is reflected in the levels of autonomy and reinforcement. The former referred to the potential of AI deep learning systems to optimize strategic decisions and production processes, and the latter referred to the potential of AI deep learning system to reduce costs and increase efficiency by autonomously executing daily tasks. 13
Research on cross-institutional research and development systems for common technologies
Common technologies are neither public goods in a purely economic concept nor exclusive at the commercial level. Because their R&D efforts face both technological and market uncertainties,14,15 this situation led to a lack of sufficient R&D motivation for individual subjects, who often chose to take a wait-and-see attitude. 16 This requires institutions with different strengths to break through institutional boundaries and engage in aggregation and integration decision-making R&D. Meanwhile, the following studies are mainly conducted for research of multi-subject common technologies.
Cross-organizational R&D of common technologies has a significant uplift effect on different industries. Capponi explored the core subjects in the common technology ecosystem in global mHealth and analyses their relationships with partners and projects. 17 Lawniczuk et al. highlighted the key effectiveness of a common technology platform for photonic integrated circuits in mitigating supply failures and discussed in-depth the complexities of multi-party participation in the development of the platform, the construction of the institutional platform, and related complexity issues. 18 Huang analyzed the slip effect of earthquakes using a new cross-organizational research method. 19 Appio et al. revealed that diverse inputs of scientific and technological knowledge do not positively contribute to common technology R&D in all cases. 20
System administrators subsidize cross-organizational R&D on common technologies can effectively promote the effectiveness of R&D in the organization. Kokshagina’s empirical studied found that subsidies and science and technology policies effectively mitigate R&D failures. 15 Kleer noted that government R&D subsidies can motivate enterprises and send signals to attract capital investment. 21 Zhao et al. found that government subsidies do not always produce positive incentives for enterprise innovation. 22 However, R&D subsidies, special programs, and other means of support can effectively compensate the enterprise for the common technology “prisoner’s dilemma” situation.23,24
From the perspective of the realization path of cross-institutional cooperation, suggesting that the value interaction between enterprises and consumers is the fundamental way to reach value co-creation.25,26 According to this interactive logic, enterprises no longer simply sell experiences to consumers but build service scenarios for consumers that enable personalization. 27 They also tap into customers’ latent needs by creating an AI deep learning system, which in turn leads to value co-creation based on ecological partnerships. 28 Based on the service-led logic of multi-subject cooperation, scholars believed that all exchange values are based on service. 29 In recent years, management studies have widely used this theory to explore the formation of multi-subject value creation. 30
Shortcomings and insights from existing research
Although existing research has pointed out that common technologies can improve the efficiency and output level of the whole systems through cross-organizational collaboration, such conclusions are mostly based on indirect evidence and lack direct verification and in-depth analysis of specific domains. However, in the emerging and complex field of AI deep learning systems, a crucial question is coming to the forefront: can the R&D activities of AI deep learning systems companies be effectively carried out in an aggregation and integration decision-making manner. Unfortunately, there is no research in the current literature that directly addresses this key question, which leaves an obvious research gap in the feasibility and operation mechanism of aggregation and integration decision-making R&D in this field.
Given this, this paper takes cross-institutional cooperation of common technologies of AI deep learning systems as an entry point, focuses on the heterogeneous impact on AI deep learning enterprises, further gives a reasonable picture of the future trend of dynamic diffusion of AI deep learning systems, and improves industrial co-operation capacity while alleviating the predicament of AI deep learning systems so that the benefits of different subjects and cross-institutional cooperation can achieve the effect of realizing progressive leapfrogging.

Model construction and analysis
Based on previous research, this chapter will further analyze whether cost sharing can make optimal decisions for end-consumer enterprises, scientific research institutes, and AI deep learning enterprises and thus achieve the optimal level of cooperation. Suppose the optimal state of aggregation and integration decision-making cooperation cannot be achieved. In that case, the joint cost-sharing can analyze to see whether it can promote the optimal decision-making of end-consumption enterprises, scientific research institutes, and AI deep learning enterprises to reach Pareto improvement and its degree of improvement, to provide a decision-making basis for the aggregation and integration decision-making R&D of common technologies for AI deep learning systems through the cooperation of the three parties.
Distributed autonomous decision-making model
Under the framework of the distributed autonomous decision-making model, the three types of decision-making subjects have the characteristics of independence and equality. They all take maximizing their own benefits as the decision-making orientation and will simultaneously implement the selection of self-interest optimal strategies. Under this mode, the optimal strategy combinations of each entity have reached a Nash equilibrium state, which characterizes the stability of strategies in the multi-party decision-making interaction process. In this case, the payoff functions for end-consumer enterprises, scientific research institutions, and AI deep learning enterprises are

Furthermore, we can draw the conclusion that the total benefit of the entire AI deep learning system under the distributed autonomous decision-making model is equation (22).
Joint cost-sharing model
In the joint cost-sharing model, AI deep learning enterprises are the cross-organizational leaders of the common technologies of this system, so to encourage the development of the AI deep learning technology enterprises, the AI deep learning enterprises will cost incentives for scientific research institutions and end-consumption enterprises, respectively, as

According to the optimal effort strategy, the following equations (39)–(41) can be obtained.
Based on the above content, we can further solve the total revenue of the entire AI deep learning system under joint cost-sharing conditions, as shown in equation (42).
Aggregation and integration decision-making model
Under the aggregated and integrated decision-making model, AI deep learning enterprises, research institutions, and terminal consumer enterprises exhibit aggregation and integration decision-making and interactive characteristics. These three types of entities take maximizing the overall benefits of the AI deep learning system as the core goal and jointly establish the optimal benefit function through strategy coordination and goal coupling. The cost incentives of the AI deep learning enterprises for both are internal funds transfers, and the cost incentive coefficients

Based on the analysis of the optimal effort strategy, the global optimal utility function of the AI deep learning system can be mathematically represented, and its formal definition is shown in equation (52).
The optimal revenue functions for end-consumer enterprises, scientific research institutes, and AI deep learning enterprises are, respectively, as shown in equations (53)–(55).
Comparative analysis of models
Comparing the optimal payoff function, optimal effort level, and optimal payoff function of the AI deep learning system for end-consumer enterprises, scientific research institutes, and the game behavior of AI deep learning enterprises in the three scenarios, this study deduces the following core propositions:
Numerical simulation analysis
In recent times, the government has successively introduced several policies to encourage the overall development of AI deep learning systems. Meanwhile, the increasing maturity of the cross-institutional collaboration model for common technologies has also deeply driven the optimization, transformation and upgrading of the R&D model for AI deep learning systems. By means of numerical model simulation, the dynamic evolution trend of the interests and concerns of each participating entity over time can be intuitively analyzed, as well as the mechanism by which changes in core variables affect the interests and concerns. This not only verifies the validity of the model but also provides theoretical and empirical support for the strategy optimization and adjustment of AI deep learning systems from the perspective of cross-institutional cooperation of common technologies.

AI deep learning systems should continuously invest innovative resources in AI deep learning to reach the threshold of technological development and application, thereby leading to the technological iteration of deep learning in AI and the coupling of general technologies.
From equation (52), The influence of 
When developing AI deep learning products, the artificial intelligence deep learning system should abandon the technology-driven thinking that focuses on the feasibility of concepts, and build a strategic framework oriented towards value creation. The market potential of the product should be evaluated based on users’ perception of practicality.
From equation (52), The influence of 
AI deep learning systems should enhance the technical application level of AI deep learning systems, enabling them to better adapt to the constantly emerging new changes, new requirements, and new scenarios in the market, achieve AI deep learning innovation capabilities that match the market, and improve the innovation and profitability of the entire system.
Results and implications
Main results
Facing a new blue ocean, this paper starts from the perspective of cross-institutional cooperation in common technologies. With the help of the differential game method, analyzing the stability and optimization problems of common technology R&D in the AI deep learning systems and the key factors affecting the stability of cross-institutional cooperation, and verifying them through evolutionary simulation. Based on the above analysis, the main conclusions of this paper are as follows: (1) The joint cost-sharing and aggregation and integration decision-making models are highly effective in terms of incentives. To varying degrees, they have increased the participants’ effort. The level of effort demonstrated by the three types of subjects is at its highest in the aggregation and integration decision-making model. In contrast, the incentive intensity of the joint cost-sharing model is equivalent to the proportion of subsidy given by the platform to the costs of manufacturers and developers. (2) If the product’s initial level of innovation is high and the participants’ effort and innovation capacity are low. In this case, product development will not increase AI deep learning systems benefits but rather decrease them over time. (3) The joint cost-sharing and aggregation and integration decision-making model has a strong positive correlation between the level of participation and feedback from the end-consumer enterprises on the final optimal revenue outcome for the institution, compared to the distributed autonomous decision-making model. (4) The aggregation and integration decision-making model have higher subjective benefits and the benefits of a cross-institutional cooperative system than the other two models, reaching a Pareto equilibrium. The best solution and development direction for constructing cross-institutional cooperative R&D of common technologies in AI deep learning systems. However, when produce undesirable results if the benefits are not distributed.
Research implications
The findings of this paper provide important insights into optimizing the cooperative relationship between AI deep learning enterprises and other subjects, and boosting the development of the AI deep learning systems: (1) Reasonably reduce the cost of aggregation and integration decision-making, AI deep learning enterprises to improve AI deep learning products oriented to the actual application needs, scientific research institutions focus on basic research, end-consumption enterprises focus on the application in practice and product feedback, to promote cross-institution cooperation of common technologies of the AI deep learning systems oriented to the forward-looking strategic needs. (2) Strengthening the construction of interaction mechanisms between AI deep learning enterprises and end-consumption enterprises, enable end-consumption enterprises to transform from passive recipients to active participants. This model adjustment can significantly increase the depth of participation of end-consumption enterprises, and thus strongly promote the efficient process of R&D in the AI deep learning systems. (3) Cross-institutional cooperation enterprises of common technologies in AI deep learning systems should abandon traditional game thinking. Even if they cannot adopt the aggregation and integration decision-making mode, they should maintain the effectiveness of the cooperation commitment. This is because under the aggregation and integration decision-making mode, when the negotiation parameters are within a certain range, the respective profits of the members of the commonality technology cross-institutional channel are not smaller than the respective profits under the decentralized decision-making mode.
