As a co-founder of DeepMind, I believe that if the first lab successfully develops Artificial Superintelligence (ASI), it should implement measures to prevent others from developing competing ASIs. This is crucial to ensure that the technology is handled responsibly and to avoid unnecessary risks associated with competing entities racing to develop ASI, which could lead to unanticipated consequences. Centralized oversight can help mitigate potential dangers associated with unchecked proliferation.
