Propaganda—to encourage competitors to slow down.
However, is there a good reason to think that such propaganda would be effective?
IMO, a more obvious approach would be to go directly for public opinion.
Would negative public opinion do much more than (a) force such research underground, or (b) lead to researchers being more circumspect?
(Not a rhetorical question—just unsure whether focusing on public opinion is a useful approach.)
Organisations seem more likely to take advice from their customers than their competitors.
Terminator, Matrix (and soon Robopocalypse) have already had a good go at public opinion on AI, though.
