I'm convinced AI developers love bigging up how much government intervention AI needs to prevent it exploding the world because they know that intervention will come in the form of:

a) laws that preferentially treat the big companies and muscle out any small fry competition, and

b) big grants to increase 'safety' or whatever (or government funding as a military asset)
