On one hand, I agree.
Nuclear weapons are a risk to everyone, so the world(US, Russia) did come together in various treaties to limit production, development, etc... So, this could apply to AI also, everyone sees the risk and comes together to curb their us and development.
On other hand:
Nukes are very difficult to make.
Iran and North Korea do not abide by the UN resolutions, they are continuing trying to develop them. We are just lucky that is not so easy.
With AI, the barrier to entry is much lower. You can find things that can be weaponized for free on github. It isn't like they are going to bother reading the licenses and not use them.
And for compute power, sure, they have harder time getting the best latest CPU's, and there is an embargo. But still, I think, far easier to get illegal gotten CPU's, than developing Nukes, the barrier is still lower.
