Hmm, as I mentioned in my above comment, I think you might be overlooking the wildcard in all of this that is humanity itself. There is absolutely zero guarantee that only one person/group will discover AI, and zero guarantee that any given group that does discover it won't just release it. Sure, the first people to successfully create AGI might be responsible with it and keep it airgapped, but at some point, someone will purposefully or accidentally let it escape.
