I wonder if AI could turn into a race like the space race in the 60's.

  That wouldn't necessarily be a good thing. Nick Bostrom argues in Superintelligence that an arms race over AI between nation-states could provoke fears of the other side winning (with a "decisive strategic advantage" from a general AI), and force them to go "full steam ahead", throwing caution to the wind, and not put in adequate safeguards to ensure the AI acts in accordance with our values or respects the boundaries we give it.
