The technology isn't inherently evil. The actual problem is the way our societies are set up, ironically incentivizing sociopathic behaviour even among members of a single nation, nevermind when geopolitics get involved.
I essentially see it like this: imagine giving a hand grenade to a three year old. The grenade isn't inherently evil, but it raises the existential stakes for that three year old and anyone in their vicinity.
There comes some hypothetical point where technology has advanced so much that anyone has the power to destroy the world.
