@gmic to go along with that, now that these technologies are here -- they are here to stay and will either be developed transparently or underground. Banning these technologies in the west will just mean that they are pushed to the east.

I think the term "AI" is misleading as other tech terms like "The Cloud" and "Neural Network" are in that they are euphemisms to drum up investment money and mimics of actual things.

If anything the goal should be to keep as much development in open source and the public domain as possible. GMic does a great job at pushing the abilities of open source effects.
