No, this is really a case of why not both.

AI is and will continue to be developed for the purposes of war. Moreso the growth of the capability of AI could lead to destabilization and the occurrence of nuclear war.

For example the capability of MADD working keeps things somewhat stable "I kill you, you kill me" isn't great. But if I develop AI that could track all the sub, and knock out the nukes before they launch, this could push nation states to attack first before their capability is taken out.

There is a continuum of issues here spanning from "People problems -> people + AI problems -> AI problems"

By adding more AI we're just expanding the size of the problem space.
