> AGI will be more dangerous that nuclear weapons.

This is highly debatable and frankly no one on the planet is qualified to know this for sure. It's just as likely it won't be dangerous.

There is enough work already done in game theory about the dangers of nuclear escalation. Current state of affairs pretty much ensures no rational agent will want to use them. On the other hand, when you model the interactions of significantly more intellectually capable rational agents with us, the "calculus" is not very favorable, to put it mildly.

How is it possible to model "significantly more intellectually capable" agents? No such thing exists. We have no idea what it would even look like.
