How likely is it that AI would be developed first in a poor, undeveloped country that hasn't gone through the demographic transition? My guess is: extremely low.
I'd agree. But point out the troubles originating with a country often don't stay within the borders of that country. If you are a rich but small country, with an advanced computer industry, and your neighbour is a large but poor country, with a strong military, this is going to affect your decisions.
