Yes they do: shoot, jail, or coerce everyone capable of producing advanced AI. Problem solved, if you're assuming that advanced AI is sufficiently dangerous that not making any at all is a better idea than taking a risk.

And governments will always want to avoid risks, especially risks that knock them out of their monopolies on force and economic power.

That won't happen because the industry controls our governments too much. There is a lot of value to be produced before the algorithms become really dangerous.

Moreover, controlling AI research is ever harder than nuclear research. Creating a technological disadvantage compared to rogue states without such regulations does not seem like a good idea.
