It's the race to the nuclear bomb again, only this time both sides play for real and both sides know the other side is playing.
Whoever wins will dominate the world. Stopping is no option.
but the Nuke had tangible "Benefits" while AI is just all vapor.
AI has vastly more use for more people than nuclear weapons.
AI is already a better search engine for code. The programming skills will become so good that it can create minimal viable products. All the ideas that have been abandoned for lack of funding, they will be realized.
It will become good enough for autonomous killer drones.
Unlike nuclear bombs, the drones will be deployed.
