The race participants are the ones with things to conceal, mostly. One could try and incentivise them to reveal things by using something like the patent system - but since machine intelligence is likely to start out as a server-side technology, patents seem likely to be irrelevant - you can just use trade secrets instead, since those have better security, don't need lawyers to enforce and have no expiration date. I discuss code-hiding issues here:
"Tim Tyler: Closed source intelligent machines"
I figure that we are well past the "Wright brothers" stage - in the sense that huge corporations are already involved in exploiting machine intelligence technology - and large sums of money are already being made out of it.
Thanks, it's interesting, despite I'm not very good at recognition of spoken english, I was unable to decipher robots part in particular.
Nevertheless I doubt that R&D division of single corporation can make all the work, which is nessesary for AGI launch, without open information from scientific community. Thus they can hide details of implementation, but they cannot hide ideas they based their work upon. Going back to Wright brothers, in 1910 there was already industry of internal combustion engines, and Henry Ford was already making money, and aerodynamics made some progress. All in all, I can't see crucial difference.
The Ford Airplane Company did get in on aeroplanes - but in the 1920s. In 1910 there was no aeroplane business.
For the inventors of machine intelligence, I figure you have to look back to people like Alan Turing. What we are seeing now is more like the ramping up of an existing industrial process. Creating very smart agents is better seen as being comparable to breaking the sound barrier.
