This is basically doing all of the work in your comment.

I don't agree that AI in malevolent hands carries a risk that is equal to AI in neutral of good hands.

I agree that with sufficiently good hands, who are sufficiently confident that they are not in a competitive race, they might be able to wait until they are supremely confident that P will not destroy the world before they switch it on for the first time. But with even just a little fear of someone else getting it first, that prudence might well go out the window, even if there are no malevolent hands involved.
