AI Verified The quote is relevant because, in context, the article is evaluating whether an IAEA-/nuclear-nonproliferation-style model fits AI regulation, and this line gives a core reason against that analogy: AI may not be safeguardable like nuclear material, which makes opposition to a similar binding treaty substantially more likely.

AI Verified The quote points against a nuclear-style AI treaty: it says AI may not be safeguardable in a way comparable to nuclear materials, and the article’s broader context argues that 'the nuclear governance model is actually not a good one' for AI regulation. That makes opposition to a binding international treaty modeled on nuclear non-proliferation substantially more likely, even if the quote does not discuss treaty text explicitly.
