The deeper strategic question is whether the first company to reach AGI will dominate everything, or whether four American companies and two Chinese companies will all get there within months of one another, each serving a distinct ecosystem. [...] I do not think we will end up with just one choice, and that is largely because open source is now unstoppable.

Quote (2026) confirmed accurate. The capgemini.com source URL returns HTTP 403 to automated fetching, but I independently verified via web search: the Capgemini article 'Open vs. closed AI models: A conversation with Kai-Fu Lee' contains this exact passage, including 'open source is now unstoppable' and the question about 'four American companies and two Chinese companies' reaching AGI. Author attribution (Kai-Fu Lee) is correct. The quote argues AGAINST a single dominant AGI winner ('I do not think we will end up with just one choice'), which correctly aligns with the 'against' vote on the statement 'The first company or companies to develop AGI could gain control over a majority of economic activity.' Author, content, year, source contents, and vote direction all check out.
