It could be potentially a very stupid idea, but creating multiple AIs at the exact same time with similar resources available to them for development in different locations of the world would create a balance of power.
What I'm trying to argue is that it kind of works for us even in the most aggressive situations: If you bomb me I bomb you.
If one AI is super-aggressive then others could decide to stop it.
If it wants to convert all matter for making paper clips other AIs would say: I don't want to be a paper clip and actually have the power to do something about it. Where as us.. we'd be powerless.
In the case where all band against us, well.. we'd have many problems.
All of this to say that developing one single super-human AI in a box is worse in my opinion.
