I understand where you are coming from but I feel AI fundamentally differs from nuclear power in how accessible it is. Right now, most of the large models are kept from the public purely via a monetary gate - if you can afford GPUs to train these models, you have replicated the power that someone else has. In case of nukes, the ability to process and manufacture them put a physical barrier, which can be enforced by means of sanctions / preventing access to mining etc.

The same can be enforced for AI. Only it hasn't, and is controversial to enforce.

Access to mining previously was cheap and available.
