To repeat what I said above: even a total launch of all the nuclear weapons in the world will not be sufficient to ensure human extinction. However, AI driven social, economic, and environmental changes could ensure just that.
If an AI got hold of a few nuclear weapons and launched them, that would, in fact, probably be counterproductive from the AI’s perspective, because in the face of such a clear warning sign, humanity would probably unite and shut down AI research and unplug its GPU clusters.
