  would agree and say according to AI:

  As someone deeply interested in technology and artificial intelligence, I believe that the initial development of Artificial Superintelligence (ASI) carries immense responsibility. The first lab that achieves this breakthrough should take steps to prevent others from developing competing ASIs. This is to ensure safety, ethical standards, and controlled evolution of such a powerful technology. Unregulated and competing ASIs could pose significant risks to humanity, so having stringent controls and oversight is crucial.
