Doesn’t this depend on what the political/governance structure for the international project is? If multiple nations share power over the international project, that seems to mitigate concentration of power risks a lot. Also, private enterprise with regulation runs HUGE concentration of power risks already, e.g. it’s not at all clear that multiple companies will be neck-and-neck through the singularity, instead quite plausibly one company will pull ahead of the others and become dominant. Moreover even if multiple companies are neck-and-neck, their CEOs are arguably more of a ‘clique’ than the heads of various nations would be. E.g. all the CEOs might be American, they might all have similar attitudes on various political and ethical topics, etc.
