The winner if there is one will be clear. Making a machine that's as good or better than human at most tasks is the turning point but doesn't demonstrate the win. Applying it for self-improvement making superintelligence which is when the winner will be racing with rockets vs bicycles. I don't know how this will play out--will the second one to achieve it always be behind? It probably depends on the difference in timing and other factors.
