Well, that's something else entirely. I can tell you, without a doubt, it won't happen equitably. That's not how the free market works.
I think what you describe about "leapfrogging" is just another link in the chain. Many of these cultures have already been leapfrogged by technology; AI isn't new in that sense. The real fear you describe seems to be more about widening of economic/opportunity gap. I believe AI will improve the lives on many people, but it will improve those who Have more than those who Have Not. I don't think that is unique to AI, though... access to the internet alone has widened the gap, as have many technologies before it. I'm curious as to the reasons you believe AI is different, other than AI might be able to create itself.

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
