A useful thing to explore more here are the socio-legal interactions between private industry and the state, particularly when collaborating on high-tech products or services. There is a lot more interaction between tech-leading industry and the state than many people realise. It’s also useful to think of states not as singular entities but of bundles of often fragmented entities organised under a singular authority/leadership. So some parts of ‘the state’ may have a very good insight into AI development, and some may not have a very good idea at all.
The dynamic of state to corporate regulation is complex and messy, and certainly could do with more AI-context research, but I’d also highlight the importance of government contracts to this idea also.
When the government builds something, it is often via a number of ‘trusted’ private entities (the more sensitive the project, the more trusted the entity—there is a license system for this in most developed countries) so the whole state/corporate role is likely to be quite mixed anyway and balanced mostly on contractual obligations.

It may also differ by industry, too.
