Collaboration or Cooperation?

今天看到一个句子——

"The collaboration between AI and musicians to complete Beethoven's unfinished 10th Symphony is a fascinating and innovative approach to celebrate the genius of the composer."

人工智能与音乐家们合作完成了贝多芬未完成的第十交响曲，这是一种绝妙且创新的方式来纪念这位天才作曲家。

看到这句话时，我在想，为什么AI和音乐家的合作要用collaboration，用cooperation不可以吗？说到底，collaboration和cooperation之间有什么区别？

遇事不决先查柯林斯。

Collaboration is the act of working together to produce a piece of work, especially a book or some research.

Cooperation : 1.joint operation or action

2.assistance or willingness to assist

3.(economics)the combination of consumers, workers, farmers, etc, in activities usually embracing production, distribution, or trade

4. (ecology)beneficial but inessential interaction between two species in a community

了解了单词自身的含义，再来看它们的区别。

Diffen上是这样写的：

Collaboration is the process of two or more people, entities or organizations working together to complete a task or achieve a goal.

Cooperation is the process of groups of organisms working or acting together for their common/mutual benefit, as opposed to working in competition for selfish benefit.

简单来说，Collaboration强调团队成员共同追求一个共同的目标，并通过共享技能和资源来达成该目标；Cooperation强调个体或组织在特定活动或项目中共同努力，但其动机和目标可能并不完全相同，可能是为了相互利益。前者给人积极主动、不分彼此的印象，而后者更多时候是一种“不得不”、“出于契约精神”的配合与协助。

看几个例句感受一下：

Collaboration
1.The researchers from different universities worked in collaboration to publish a groundbreaking scientific paper. （来自不同大学的研究人员合作撰写一篇具有开创性的科学论文。）

2.The film was a result of the collaboration of talented actors, directors, and writers. （这部电影是优秀演员、导演和编剧合作的结果。）

3.Jake wrote a book on UK early years education in collaboration with child development specialist Ruth.（Jake与儿童发展专家Ruth合作，共同撰写了一本有关“英国早教”的书。）

Cooperation

1.The two companies entered into a cooperation agreement to expand their market presence. （这两家公司签订了合作协议，以扩大市场份额。）

2.International cooperation is essential to address global challenges such as climate change and poverty. （国际合作对于应对气候变化和贫困等全球挑战至关重要。）

3.The success of the project was a result of the close cooperation between the government and private sector. （该项目的成功是政府和私营部门紧密合作的结果。）

4.Thanks for your cooperation!（感谢您的配合。）

5.We ask for your full cooperation during the investigation.（我们要求你完全配合我们的调查。）

此外，一般提及“合作精神”、“合作文化”等时，多使用"cooperation"，如"a spirit of cooperation"、"a culture of cooperation"。
