So you’d have a bunch of malicious systems, and a bunch of defender systems, going head to head.

Let me guess... USA is defender and Russia/China is malicious? Seriously though who is going to be running the malicious machines trying to "destroy humanity"? If you're talking about capitalism destroying the planet, this has already been happening without AI. Otherwise this seems like just another singularity fantasy.

The fears people who like to talk about the singularity like to propose is that there will be one 'rogue' misaligned ASI that progressively takes over everything - i.e. all the AI in the world works against all the people.

My point is that more likely is there will be lots of ASI or AGI systems, not aligned to each other, most on the side of the humans.
