Hmm, it seems like government AI development might be preferable to a Wild West of private groups. At least in a US-China arms race you have just two parties and so have a shot at treaties and iterated-prisoner's-dilemma (IPD) game dynamics. With unregulated private developers, you have a multiplayer prisoner's dilemma, making IPD-type cooperation or other forms of coordination much harder.
True, but governments have some really scary terminal values.
What are they, how do you know them, and how certain are you?
