I think we should take more care to separate the question of of whether AI developments will be decentralized with the question of whether decentralization is safer. It is not obvious to me whether a decentralized, economy-wide path to advanced AIs will be safer or riskier than a concentrated path within a single organization. It seems like the opening sentence of this question is carrying the assumption that decentralized is safer ("Robin Hanson has argued that those who believe AI Risk to be a primary concern for humanity, are suffering from a bias toward thinking that concentration of power is always more efficient than a decentralised system").

Hm, good point. Will come back later and see if I can rewrite into a better question.

The title and the question seem fairly different.
