        That doesn’t prevent it from happening. It’s a useful reaction to, for example, smoking, because you can ban smoking (indoors, or whatever) and so prevent your population from being exposed to (second-hand) smoke. But banning AI is not going to protect your citizens from the effects of AI, because AI is still going to be available in other countries.

        Well, kinda. But the internet is global and you can hook a data center up to it anywhere. There’s plans to build them literally in space. And I run local models on my own machine at home, that’s not going away either. So the impact of regulation will be limited and local. AI as a whole isn’t going away.
