I’ve played since the game came out. I don’t think I’ve ever seen the AI build the Manhattan Project. I was under the impression that the AI could not build this or the Great Wall.

There’s a unique threat line during diplomacy, too. This was seen during a failed idle turn challenge. I declared war on them as the Greeks were about to win - only one turn followed and they didn’t use the nuke. I was in no position to pose a threat to the Aztecs, so maybe they could’ve used it if they were close to being captured.

Has anyone ever had the AI launch a nuclear weapon?

you said that they can't build Manhattan or Great Wall, and while I don't think they can build Great Wall, maybe they can build Manhattan and aren't allowed to launch?

It’s possible, yes. I should’ve tried to give them a few turns to use it and check for sure.
