Superintelligence: Paths, Dangers, Strategies (2014)Nick Bostrom
Chapter 5 of Bostrom's Superintelligence discusses the concept of decisive strategic advantage in the context of the emergence of machine superintelligence. It explores how technological power might concentrate rapidly following the development of advanced AI, the challenges of diffusion and competition among projects, and the geopolitical and organizational dynamics that could influence control over such transformative technology. The chapter also considers historical analogies, the potential for secrecy or openness in AI development, and the risks of internal and external conflicts affecting strategic outcomes.
