This thought process it not different than it was with nuclear weapons.

The primary difference is the observability - with satellites we had some confidence that other nations respected treaties, or that they had enough reaction time for mutual destruction, but with this AI development we lack all that.

That is why we see the current AI competition and some attempts from companies to regulate it so that "it is safe only in their hands".
