I posted before the issue of AI not being granted patents or copyrights to work that it produces and the problems it could create. Overall government regulations could discourage the use of AI for commercial purposes. Here's a company building barges with nothing but H100 and the ships may qualify as a sovereign nation!

I also mentioned that foreign nations like Russia, China and/or the likes of Iran would not restrain AI from anything, inclusive of biological weapons. What's really funny is that the true potential of AI developing nano-technology isn't a biological weapon but a airborne virus that could pass the blood barrier of the brain and turn anyone into a Manchurian candidate or spy who doesn't even know they're a spy, I think there's a movie about that?

So now what? AIs floating the seven seas free from any regulation from the west where any diabolical genius could master mind the end of civilization as we know it. But what if the world should end in some nuclear nightmare holocaust, could such floating contraptions help humanity?

With regulation we will stifle AI, without it it's uncontrollable, damned if you do, damned if you don't...

This is seasteading with an AI twist, and I'm not aware of any seasteading project that has succeeded. So it will be interesting to see where it goes, but let's say the challenges are serious.
